Deleting Dummy Tables from the Dataset
This example Pipeline demonstrates how to delete a dummy table from a dataset.
First, configure the BigQuery Execute Snap with the CREATE table query as highlighted in the image that executes the query.
On validating, the Snap processes the query to create a table. You can view the following output in the Snap’s preview.
Next, configure the BigQuery Delete Snap to delete the Dummy_del table from the babynames dataset that belongs to case16370 Project ID.
On validation, the Snap deletes the table and displays the status of the deletion and the details of the deleted table.
