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.
