KEYWORDS

SYNOPSIS

       v.db.droptable
       v.db.droptable --help
       v.db.droptable   [-f]  map=name   [table=name]    [layer=string]    [--help]   [--verbose]
       [--quiet]  [--ui]

   Flags:
       -f
           Force removal (required for actual deletion of table)

       --help
           Print usage summary

       --verbose
           Verbose module output

       --quiet
           Quiet module output

       --ui
           Force launching GUI dialog

   Parameters:
       map=name [required]
           Name of vector map
           Or data source for direct OGR access

       table=name
           Table name (default: vector map name)

       layer=string
           Layer number or name
           Vector features can have category values in different layers. This  number  determines
           which layer to use. When used with direct OGR access this is the layer name.
           Default: 1

DESCRIPTION

       v.db.droptable removes an existing attribute table from a given vector map linked at given
       layer. If the -f force flag is not given then nothing is removed.

NOTES

       v.db.droptable is a front-end to db.execute to allow easier usage.

       The existing database connection(s) can be verified with v.db.connect.

EXAMPLE

       Removing attribute table connected to layer 1:
       g.copy vect=roadsmajor,myroads
       v.db.droptable myroads
       v.db.droptable myroads -f
       v.db.connect -p myroads
