v.db.droptable help
v.db.droptable [-f] map=name [table=name] [layer=string] [--verbose] [--quiet]
Flags:
- -f
- Force removal (required for actual deletion of table)
- --verbose
- Verbose module output
- --quiet
- Quiet module output
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
- A single vector map can be connected to multiple database tables. This number determines which table to use. When used with direct OGR access this is the layer name.

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
