http://glue.{region}.amazonaws.com/#X-Amz-Target=AWSGlue.DeleteDatabase

Removes a specified database from a Data Catalog. <note> After completing this operation, you no longer have access to the tables (and all table versions and partitions that might belong to the tables) and the user-defined functions in the deleted database. Glue deletes these "orphaned" resources asynchronously in a timely manner, at the discretion of the service. To ensure the immediate deletion of all related resources, before calling <code>DeleteDatabase</code>, use <code>DeleteTableVersion</code> or <code>BatchDeleteTableVersion</code>, <code>DeletePartition</code> or <code>BatchDeletePartition</code>, <code>DeleteUserDefinedFunction</code>, and <code>DeleteTable</code> or <code>BatchDeleteTable</code>, to delete any resources that belong to the database. </note>
