DESCRIPTION

db.dropdb removes an existing database using given database driver. Currently only SQLite and PostgreSQL database drivers are supported.

EXAMPLES

Drop (delete) an existing database connected through SQLite driver

Note that the standard GRASS GIS SQLite database is by default found in the user's current mapset. This example shows an out-of-mapset database removal:

db.dropdb driver=sqlite database=/opt/sqlite.db

Drop an existing database connected through PostgreSQL driver

db.dropdb driver=pg database=grassdb

TODO

Support other database drivers, too.
