Question

You may notice from my last question that a problem caused some more problems, Reading MySQL manuals in MySQL monitor?

My database is now unusable partly due to my interest to break things and my inability to look at error messages. I know that I should not reuse primary keys, but I would like to use them again after the removal of the database that I deteriorated. So

How can I correctly remove a MySQL database?

Answer 1

From the MySQL prompt:

mysql> drop database <db_name>;
