Removing Tables
The command to remove a table from a database is DROP TABLE:
DROP TABLE table_name
When you issue this command, you remove the specified table from the database, together with its contents.
If you want to keep the table structure but remove all of its data, use the DELETE command (more about it later in this chapter).
