If you want to delete an entire database in SQL, you can use the DROP DATABASE statement. This command will remove the database along with all its tables, data, and other associated objects.

Here’s the basic syntax for the DROP DATABASE command:

Replace database_name with the name of the database you want to delete.

Important Considerations:

• Ensure you really want to delete the database, as this action is irreversible and all data will be lost.
• Make sure you have the necessary permissions to drop the database. Typically, this requires administrative privileges.
• It’s a good practice to backup any important data before performing this operation.

Example:

If you have a database named example_db and you want to delete it, you would run:

This command will remove example_db and all of its contents.
