4.2.7. MySQL deletes the database

Drop command to delete database ¶

Drop command format:

For example, delete a database named RUNOOB:

mysql> drop database RUNOOB; 

Delete a database using mysqladmin ¶

You can also use it. mysql mysqladmin The command executes the delete command at the terminal.

The following example deletes the database RUNOOB (which was created in the previous section):

After executing the above delete database command, a prompt box appears to confirm that the database is actually deleted:

Delete database

';$sql='DROP DATABASE RUNOOB';$retval=mysqli_query($conn,$sql);if(!$retval){die('删除数据库失败:'.mysqli_error($conn));}echo"数据库 RUNOOB 删除成功\\n";mysqli_close($conn);?> 

After successful execution, the results are as follows:

注意： When using the PHP script to delete the database, there will be no confirmation of whether to delete the information, but will delete the specified database directly, so you should be very careful when deleting the database.
