Syntax

DROP DATABASE [IF EXISTS] <database_name> [FORCE]

DROP SCHEMA [IF EXISTS] <database_name> [FORCE]

Remarks

• By default, the DROP DATABASE command waits for the running queries to finish before dropping the database. To override this behavior and kill any running queries, use the FORCE option.

• The DROP DATABASE command can be run on the master aggregator node, or a child aggregator node when DDL Forwarding is enabled. See Node Requirements for SingleStore Commands).

• This command causes implicit commits. Refer to COMMIT for more information.

• The DROP DATABASE command cannot be run on system databases.

• The DROP DATABASE command drops the Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR) history. A database cannot be restored to the PITR milestone taken before the database was dropped.
