To delete a database, you can use the following SQL statement:

DROP DATABASE database_name;

`database_name` is the name of the database to be deleted. Please be aware that executing this statement will permanently delete the database along with all its related tables and data. Before proceeding with this operation, make sure to back up the database and confirm that you truly want to delete it.

If you only want to delete a specific table in the database, you can use the following SQL statement:

DROP TABLE table_name;

In this case, `table_name` is the name of the table to be deleted. Please proceed with caution and make sure to backup the data in the table to prevent accidental deletions.
