The following examples demonstrate how to drop a table.
Drop a table by name
curl -sS -L -X POST "API_ENDPOINT/api/json/v1/KEYSPACE_NAME" \
--header "Token: APPLICATION_TOKEN" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{

}'Drop a table only if the table exists
This option has no literal equivalent in HTTP. Instead, you can list the table names to see if a table with the name already exists.
