Drop Table - SQL

To drop a table in SQL, you need to use the appropriate command or statement provided by the database management system (DBMS) you are using. The syntax may vary depending on the DBMS. Here are examples of dropping a table in a few popular DBMS:

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

    2. Example 
    DROP TABLE table_name;

In all of the above examples, replace table_name with the name of the table you want to drop. Please note that dropping a table permanently deletes the table and all its data. Therefore, exercise caution and ensure that you have appropriate backups and confirm that you have the necessary permissions and authority to perform the operation.

It's important to verify the specific syntax and consult the documentation or seek expert guidance for your specific DBMS to ensure a safe and accurate table drop process.
