Delete Database in SQL
? DELETE DATABASE in SQL
Actually, in SQL, there is no DELETE DATABASE command. To remove an entire database, you use the DROP DATABASE command.
? How to Delete (Drop) a Database
DROP DATABASE database_name;This command deletes the whole database along with all its tables, data, and objects.
Use with caution — this operation cannot be undone!
? Example
DROP DATABASE my_database;This will permanently delete the database named my_database.
? Notes
You must have appropriate privileges to drop a database.
You cannot drop a database if you are currently using it (some systems require you to switch to another database first).
Always backup important data before dropping a database.
If you want, I can help with commands to drop tables or other database objects too!
