It is possible to remove a database in MySQL if it exists using the following syntax:


        
        
            
                
                
                    DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS database_name;

Where:

database_name refers to the name of the database that we would like to remove.

WARNING

When you remove a database, all the tables, indexes and columns associated with that database are also removed, hence this action should be performed with the utmost care.
