Syntax
------

DROP {DATABASE | SCHEMA} [IF EXISTS] db_name

Description
-----------

DROP DATABASE drops all tables in the database and deletes the database. Be
very careful with this statement! To use DROP DATABASE, you need the DROP
privilege on the database. DROP SCHEMA is a synonym for DROP DATABASE.

Important: When a database is dropped, user privileges on the database are not
automatically dropped. See GRANT.

IF EXISTS
---------

Use IF EXISTS to prevent an error from occurring for databases that do not
exist. A NOTE is generated for each non-existent database when using IF
EXISTS. See SHOW WARNINGS.

Atomic DDL
----------

MariaDB starting with 10.6.1
----------------------------
MariaDB 10.6.1 supports Atomic DDL.

DROP DATABASE is implemented as

loop over all tables
 DROP TABLE table

Each individual DROP TABLE is atomic while DROP DATABASE as a whole is
crash-safe.

Examples
--------

DROP DATABASE bufg;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.39 sec)

DROP DATABASE bufg;
ERROR 1008 (HY000): Can't drop database 'bufg'; database doesn't exist

DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS bufg;
Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
Note (Code 1008): Can't drop database 'bufg'; database doesn't exist
