SQL DROP Statement: Usage Guide

In SQL, the DROP statement is used to delete tables, indexes, views, or stored procedures from a database. The basic syntax is:

DROP TABLE table_name;

DROP TABLE is used to delete a table, with table_name being the name of the table to be deleted. Similarly, DROP INDEX, DROP VIEW, or DROP PROCEDURE can be used to remove indexes, views, or stored procedures. It should be noted that using the DROP statement will permanently delete database objects, so use it carefully.
