db.droptable - Drops an attribute table.
Contents
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.
Examples
Removinganattributetablefromdefaultdatabase
# 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
Removinganattributetablefromgivendatabasedb.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
Keywords
database, attribute table
Name
db.droptable - Drops an attribute table.
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.
