[ckan-dev] Delete datastore via api

Mon Feb 18 23:41:47 UTC 2013

Hi Lasse,

The datstore API, which is part of the action  API, is not a REST API. There is no need to send an HTTP DELETE. The documentation for the action API at [1] might help you here.

Also, make sure that the resource exists in your datastore. There is a list of all resources at `[...]/api/action/datastore_search?resource_id=_table_metadata`.

Cheers,
Dominik
