Parameters:
- driver=name
 
- Name of database driver

db.droptable drops an attribute table.  If the 
-f
force flag is not given then nothing is removed, instead a preview of
the action to be taken is printed.
db.droptable is a front-end
to 
db.execute to allow easier
usage. To some extent it is verified if the table is connected to a
vector map to avoid accidental table removal.
# show default database
db.connect -p
# show available tables
db.tables -p
# this will show what would happen
db.droptable table=sometable
# actually drop the table
db.droptable -f table=sometable
 
db.droptable allows defining optionally 
driver
and 
database options different from default connection settings
(
db.connect -p).
# drop the table from SQLite database
db.droptable -f table=sometable driver=sqlite database=/opt/sqlite.db
