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 accidental table removal.
EXAMPLES
Removing an attribute table from default database
# show default database
db.connect -p
# show available tables
db.tables -p
# this will show what would happen
db.droptable table=sometable
# actually drop the table
db.droptable -f table=sometable
Removing an attribute table from given database
db.droptable allows defining optionally driver
and database options different from default connection settings
(db.connect -p).
# drop the table from SQLite database
db.droptable -f table=sometable driver=sqlite database=/opt/sqlite.db
