MDL Commands

If you’re familiar with commands used in DDL (Data Definition Language), you should recognize MDL commands since they share some of the same imperative verb commands: CREATE, DROP, ALTER, etc. With DDL, you typically use these commands to manage database tables. With MDL, the same general idea applies for adding, changing, or deleting components to modify Vault’s configuration metadata.
