Delete a Distinct Value Cache

Use the influxdb3 delete distinct_cache command to delete a Distinct Value Cache (DVC). Provide the following:

  • Database (-d, --database): (Required) The name of the database that the DVC you want to delete is associated with. You can also use the INFLUXDB3_DATABASE_NAME environment variable to specify the database.
  • Token (--token): (Required) Your InfluxDB 3 Core

authentication token. You can also use the INFLUXDB3_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable to specify the token.

  • Table (-t, --table): (Required) The name of the table that the DVC you want to delete is associated with.
  • Cache name: The name of the DVC to delete.
influxdb3 delete distinct_cache \
  --database 
DATABASE_NAME
 \
  --token 
AUTH_TOKEN
 \
  --table 
TABLE_NAME
 \
  
DVC_NAME

Replace the following:

  • DATABASE_NAME: the name of the database that the DVC you want to delete is associated with
  • AUTH_TOKEN: your InfluxDB 3 Core admin authentication token
  • TABLE_NAME: the name of the table associated with the DVC you want to delete
  • DVC_NAME: the name of the DVC to delete

This is a destructive action that cannot be undone. Once deleted, any queries against the deleted DVC will return an error.
