Delete a Table
You can delete an existing table by using
the "DROP TABLE" statement:
Example
Delete the table "customers":
import mysql.connector
mydb = mysql.connector.connect(
host="localhost",
user="yourusername",
passwd="yourpassword",
database="mydatabase"
)
mycursor =
mydb.cursor()
sql = "DROP TABLE customers"
mycursor.execute(sql)Run example »
Drop Only if Exist
If the the table you want to delete is already deleted, or for any other
reason does not exist, you can use the IF EXISTS keyword to avoid getting an
error.
Example
Delete the table "customers" if it exists:
import mysql.connector
mydb = mysql.connector.connect(
host="localhost",
user="yourusername",
passwd="yourpassword",
database="mydatabase"
)
mycursor =
mydb.cursor()
sql = "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS customers"
mycursor.execute(sql)Run example »
