Managing & Using MySQL, 2nd Edition

Name

mysql_drop_db —

Synopsis

int mysql_drop_db(MYSQL *mysql, const char *db)

Destroys the database with the given name. The return value is 0 if the operation was successful and nonzero if there was an error.

Tip

This function has been deprecated in the newer releases of MySQL. MySQL now supports the DROP DATABASE SQL statement. This should be used, via the mysql_query function, instead.

Example

/* Destroy the database 'old_database' */
result = mysql_drop_db(&mysql, "old_database");
