How can I delete all tables in a database using MySQL?

To delete all tables in a MySQL database, follow these steps:

  1. First, log in to the MySQL database server using the appropriate database user.
  2. To select the database for deleting a table, you can use the following command to switch to the corresponding database:
USE your_database_name;
  1. List all tables using the following command:
SHOW TABLES;
  1. Based on the displayed results, use the following command to remove each table:
DROP TABLE table_name1, table_name2, ...;

Replace table_name1, table_name2, … with specific table names, separated by commas.

  1. Repeat step 4 until all tables are deleted.
  2. Once deletion is completed, you can verify if all tables have been successfully deleted using the following command.
SHOW TABLES;

If no tables are displayed anymore, it means all tables have been successfully deleted.

Please note that the deletion of a table is irreversible and cannot be recovered. Before executing the deletion operation, please ensure the accuracy of the operation and backup important data.
