DESCRIPTION

46       db.droptable drops an attribute table.  If the -f  force  flag  is  not
47       given  then  nothing  is removed, instead a preview of the action to be
48       taken is printed.
49

NOTES

51       db.droptable is a front-end to db.execute to  allow  easier  usage.  To
52       some extent it is verified if the table is connected to a vector map to
53       avoid accidental table removal.
54

EXAMPLES

56   Removing an attribute table from default database
57       # show default database
58       db.connect -p
59       # show available tables
60       db.tables -p
61       # this will show what would happen
62       db.droptable table=sometable
63       # actually drop the table
64       db.droptable -f table=sometable
65
66   Removing an attribute table from given database
67       db.droptable allows defining optionally  driver  and  database  options
68       different from default connection settings (db.connect -p).
69       # drop the table from SQLite database
70       db.droptable -f table=sometable driver=sqlite database=/opt/sqlite.db
