Athena exposes scoped DDL operations via /management/* routes.

Primary operations:

  • table create, alter, and drop
  • column drop
  • index create and drop
  • extension install
  • function list, upsert, and drop

  1. Inspect capabilities before mutation.
  2. Apply additive table changes first.
  3. Apply index or extension updates.
  4. Use function upsert for controlled release.
  5. Validate post-change via schema endpoints.
