MySQL 8.0 Release Notes
MySQL 8.0 Source Code Documentation
ndb_drop_table drops the specified
NDB table. (If you try to use this
on a table created with a storage engine other than
NDB, the attempt fails with the
error 723: No such table exists.) This
operation is extremely fast; in some cases, it can be an order
of magnitude faster than using a MySQL DROP
TABLE statement on an NDB
table.
Usage
ndb_drop_table -c connection_string tbl_name -d db_nameThe following table includes options that are specific to ndb_drop_table. Additional descriptions follow the table. For options common to most NDB Cluster programs (including ndb_drop_table), see Section 22.4.31, “Options Common to NDB Cluster Programs — Options Common to NDB Cluster Programs”.

Prior to NDB 8.0.17, an NDB table dropped
using this utility persisted in the MySQL data dictionary but
could not be dropped using DROP TABLE in the
mysql client. In NDB 8.0.17 and later, such
“orphan” tables can be dropped using DROP
TABLE. (Bug #29125206, Bug #93672)
