drop database mhysql code example

Example 1: mysql drop database

DROP DATABASE ma_base

Example 2: MySQL DROP DATABASE

The DROP DATABASE statement drops all tables in the database and deletes the database permanently. Therefore, you should be very careful when using this statement.

The following shows the syntax of the DROP DATABASE statement:

DROP DATABASE [IF EXISTS] database_name;



In MySQL, the schema is the synonym for the database, therefore, you can use them interchangeably:

DROP SCHEMA [IF EXISTS] database_name;
