Data Definition Language, DROP TABLE

Posted by admin in Q. Data Definition Language

ou use a DROP TABLE command to delete a table.
Format:

          DROP TABLE table_name;

> If you DROP a table, it means that you lose all of the table’s structure and parameters.

> Some RDBMS systems will not allow you to DROP a table referenced by a FOREIGN KEY until the FOREIGN KEY constraint or the table containing the FOREIGN KEY constraint has been removed.

> Dropping a table does not remove a view, but a view can not function without a base table.

> A table can be empty (no data) without being dropped.
