## DESCRIPTION

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

## NOTES

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

## EXAMPLE

Removing an attribute table:

    # show available tables
    db.tables -p

    # this will show what would happen
    db.droptable table=sometable

    # actually drop the table
    db.droptable -f sometable
