Syntax
DROP {DATABASE | SCHEMA} [IF EXISTS] db_name
Description
DROP DATABASE
drops all tables in the database and deletes the database. Be very careful with this statement! To use DROP DATABASE,
you need the DROP privilege on the database. DROP SCHEMA
is a synonym for DROP DATABASE
.
Important: When a database is dropped, user privileges on the database are not automatically dropped. See GRANT.
Use IF EXISTS
to prevent an error from occurring for databases that do not exist. A NOTE
is generated for each non-existent database when using IF EXISTS
. See SHOW WARNINGS.
