Alter and drop distributed hypertables

You can alter and drop distributed hypertables in the same way as standard hypertables. To learn more, see:

• Altering hypertables
• Dropping hypertables

When you alter a distributed hypertable, or set privileges on it, the commands are automatically applied across all data nodes. For more information, see the section on multi-node administration.
