Drop Pipeline

Summary

The DROP PIPELINE command removes the specified pipeline domain object from the Connect instance.

Syntax

drop pipeline [if exists] <pipeline_name>;

Parameters

Parameter	Description
[if exists]	(Optional) Connect will return an error if the pipeline does not exist and the `[if exists]` clause is omitted. Otherwise, the clause will cause the drop to fire only if the pipeline name exists.
`<pipeline_name>`	(Required) The name of the pipeline to remove.

Details

The command does not remove or alter any member steps or child pipelines from the system that are part of the dropped pipeline definition.

Note: Dropping a child pipeline that is a member in another parent pipeline will cause the parent pipeline to become invalid. Connect retains a reference in the parent pipeline to the dropped child pipeline. You will need to recreate or alter the parent pipeline to remove the reference to the dropped pipeline member.
