Note that the standard GRASS GIS SQLite database is by default found in the user’s current mapset. This example shows an out-of-mapset database removal: 

db.dropdb driver=sqlite database=/opt/sqlite.db

Drop an existing database connected through PostgreSQL driver

db.dropdb driver=pg database=grassdb

TODO

Support other database drivers, too.
