v.25.8New Feature

Support drop table

Official CH changelog text
Support drop table for iceberg (Removing from REST/Glue catalogs + removing metadata about table). #85395 (Konstantin Vedernikov).
Support for DROP TABLE command on Iceberg tables, enabling removal of tables from REST and AWS Glue catalogs along with associated metadata.

Why it matters

This feature addresses the need for properly deleting Iceberg tables managed by ClickHouse by ensuring that the tables are removed not only from the ClickHouse system but also from external REST and Glue catalogs. This helps maintain catalog consistency and cleans up metadata, preventing orphaned entries and potential confusion for users.

How to use it

Users can execute the standard DROP TABLE command on Iceberg tables in ClickHouse. The system will then handle the removal of the table from both REST and Glue catalogs automatically, along with cleaning up related metadata.
