Delete Verb

Use a DELETE API to delete resources that are identified by the Request-URI.

A successful response to DELETE requests SHOULD be:

  • HTTP 200 OK, if the response includes an entity describing the status.
  • HTTP 202 Accepted, if the action has been queued.
  • HTTP 204 No Content, if the action has been performed but the response does not include an entity.

DELETE operations are idependent. When a resouce is deleted, it is removed from the collection of resources and remains so, even when the DELETE API is called on the same resource repeatedly. The 404 NOT FOUND response code is returned when the DELETE API is called on a deleted resource for the second time. Some may argue that this makes the DELETE method non-idempotent. It is a matter of discussion and personal opinion.

If the request passes through a cache and the Request-URI identifies one or more currently cached entities, these entries SHOULD be handled as stale. Responses to this method are not cacheable.

schema

Reference table schema name

N

A valid schema name

common if empty

Example:
