Delete objects

This document describes how to delete objects in the Deep Origin data hub:

  • Database rows
  • Database columns
  • Databases
  • Folders (workspaces)

Exercise caution

  • Deleting a folder deletes all of the databases in the folder.
  • Deleting a column destroys all of the data in that column, including all of the files assigned to the cells in that column.
  • Deleting a database deletes all of the rows in the database.

All resources will be deleted without asking for confirmation.

Delete database rows, databases, and folders

To delete multiple rows, databases and folders, run:

deeporigin data delete --ids <ids>

from deeporigin.data_hub import api
api.delete_rows(row_ids=["row-1","database-1","folder-1"])

Rows?

Rows, folders and databases can all be deleted using the delete_rows method.

Delete database columns

To delete columns in databases, run the following command, specifying the IDs of the columns to delete and their parent database:

deeporigin data delete \
    --ids <ids> \
    --database <database-id> \
    --columns

from deeporigin.data_hub import api
api.delete_database_column(
    column_id="col-id",
    database_id="database-id",
)
