.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIdb.droptable\fR drops an attribute table.
If the \fB-f\fR force flag is not given then nothing is removed, instead
a preview of the action to be taken is printed.
.SH NOTES
\fIdb.droptable\fR is a front-end to \fIdb.execute\fR to allow easier
usage. To some extent it is verified if the table is connected to a vector map
to avoid accidential table removal.
.SH EXAMPLE
Removing an attribute table:

.br
.br
# this will show what would happen
.br

.br
