SELECT table_schema, table_name FROM information_schema.tables WHERE tidb_placement_policy_name='p1'; SELECT table_schema, table_name FROM information_schema.partitions WHERE tidb_placement_policy_name='p1'; ALTER TABLE t1 PLACEMENT POLICY=default; -- Removes the placement policy from t1. DROP PLACEMENT POLICY p1; -- Succeeds.
