Delete and Duplicate Tables

Hi Everyone :wave:

I noticed now that we can delete and duplicate glide tables :partying_face:

Duplicate table might come very handy in some cases! Thanks for sharing.

Delete too…I have WAY too many Glide tables that have been orphaned :slight_smile:

Nice. That will help to keep from making orphan tables. But for ones that are already orphaned, I would hope we would have a way soon to remove those as well…

Yeah, that occurred to me as well.
I haven’t tried this yet, but I assume you could add those orphaned tables to an app (any app), and then delete them from within the app. A bit of a clunky workaround, but I’d expect that would work.

That is clever if it works. I have hundreds, so it would be nice if they would give us a bulk delete (and a way to check all unused tables). My problem is when I do a lot of changes in a day, I will make a “backup” of my app at the beginning of the day to refer back to in case I mess something up. Every so often I delete those backups. You can imagine how many orphan tables I’ve created by doing that!!

And I noticed another one also that if we keep the cursor here

then the apps that linked to this table are showing.

I have confirmed this works. Very tedious, though, with hundreds of tables…
