postgresqlHow do I drop a table in PostgreSQL?


To drop a table in PostgreSQL, you must use the DROP TABLE command. This command will remove the table from the database schema and any associated data.

For example, to drop a table named employees:

DROP TABLE employees;

This command will delete the table and its data from the database.

The following are the components of the DROP TABLE command:

  • DROP TABLE: this is the command used to delete a table
  • employees: this is the name of the table to be deleted

It is important to note that the DROP TABLE command is irreversible and will permanently delete the table and its data from the database.

For more information, please refer to the PostgreSQL documentation.
