## DESCRIPTION

db.droptable drops an attribute table. If the -f force flag is not given then nothing is removed, instead a preview of the action to be taken is printed.

## NOTES

db.droptable is a front-end to db.execute to allow easier usage. To some extent it is verified if the table is connected to a vector map to avoid accidential table removal.

## EXAMPLES

### Removing an attribute table from default database

    # show default database
    db.connect -p

    # show available tables
    db.tables -p

    # this will show what would happen
    db.droptable table=sometable

    # actually drop the table
    db.droptable -f table=sometable

### Removing an attribute table from given database

db.droptable allows to define optionally driver and database options different from default connection settings (`db.connect -p`).

    # drop the table from SQLite database
    db.droptable -f table=sometable driver=sqlite database=/opt/sqlite.db
