Delete Table - SQL

To delete a table in SQL, you can use the DROP TABLE statement. The DROP TABLE statement removes the table and all its data from the database. Here's the syntax for deleting a table:

Here are examples of using the DROP TABLE statement in different database management systems (DBMS):

MySQL/MariaDB / PostgreSQL / Oracle / Microsoft SQL Server / SQLite

DROP TABLE table_name;

In the above syntax, replace table_name with the name of the table you want to delete.

Please note that the DROP TABLE statement is a data definition language (DDL) statement, and dropping a table permanently deletes it along with all its data. Make sure to double-check the table name and confirm that you have the necessary permissions and authority to perform the operation. It's also advisable to have appropriate backups before executing any table deletion operation.

Remember to consult the specific documentation or seek expert guidance for your specific DBMS to ensure a safe and accurate table deletion process.
