Description
DROP DATABASE removes the catalog entries for an existing
database and deletes the directory containing the data.
It can only be executed by the database owner (usually the user that created
it).
DROP DATABASE cannot be undone. Use it with care!
Notes
This command cannot be executed while connected to the target
database. Thus, it might be more convenient to use the shell
script dropdb,
which is a wrapper around this command, instead.
Refer to
CREATE DATABASE
for information on how to create a database.
