DROP CLIENT MASTER KEY

Description

Deletes a CMK.

Precautions

  • Only the CMK owner or a user who has been granted the DROP permission can run this command. By default, the system administrator has this permission.
  • This command can only delete the metadata of key objects recorded in the system catalog of the database, but cannot delete the key entities managed by the client key tool or online key service.

Syntax

1
 
DROP CLIENT MASTER KEY [ IF EXISTS ] client_master_key_name [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ];

Parameters

    Name of a CMK to be deleted.

    Value range: a string. It is the name of an existing CMK object.

  • CASCADE | RESTRICT
    • Allows/Restricts to delete objects that depend on the CMK.
