drop_table
Semantics
drop_table
if_exists
Under normal operation, an error is raised if the table does not exist. Adding IF EXISTS will quietly ignore any non-existent tables specified.
table_name
Specify the name of the table to be dropped. Objects associated with the table, such as prepared statements, will be eventually invalidated after the DROP TABLE statement is completed.
