Deleting Table

DROP is used to delete the entire database or a table. It deleted both records in the table along with the table structure.

Syntax: 

DROP TABLE TABLE_NAME;

Example: Drop SQLite3 table using Python

Total tables in the gfg.db before dropping

Now let’s drop the Student table and then again check the total table in our database.

Python3




# Import module
import sqlite3
 
# Connecting to sqlite
conn = sqlite3.connect('gfg.db')
 
# Creating a cursor object using
# the cursor() method
cursor = conn.cursor()
 
# Updating
cursor.execute('''DROP TABLE Student;''')
 
# Commit your changes in the database
conn.commit()
 
# Closing the connection
conn.close()
