Example:
dbadmin=> CREATE TABLE test1 (c INT);
CREATE TABLE
dbadmin=> DROP TABLE test1;
DROP TABLE
That was easy. How about dropping more than one table?
dbadmin=> CREATE TABLE test2 (c1 INT, c2 VARCHAR);
CREATE TABLE
dbadmin=> CREATE TABLE test3 (c1 INT, c2 VARCHAR, c3 BOOLEAN);
CREATE TABLE
dbadmin=> CREATE TABLE test4 (c1 CHAR(1));
CREATE TABLE
At first you might be tempted to run a DROP TABLES command to drop multiple tables, but that won’t work.
dbadmin=> DROP TABLES test2, test3, test4;
ERROR 4856: Syntax error at or near "TABLES" at character 6
LINE 1: DROP TABLES test2, test3, test4;
It’s still the same simple DROP TABLE command:
dbadmin=> DROP TABLE test2, test3, test4;
DROP TABLE
