Deleting a Table

 

Introduction

To delete a table in the SQL, create a DROP TABLE expression followed by the name of the table. The formula to use is:

DROP TABLE TableName;

Replace the TableName factor of our formula with the name of the table you want to delete. Here is an example:

Private Sub cmdDeleteTable_Click()
    Dim conEmployees As ADODB.Connection
    Dim strSQL As String
    
    Set conDepartments = New ADODB.Connection
    conEmployees.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
                        "Data Source='C:\My Documents\Exercise.accdb'"
    
    strSQL = "DROP TABLE Employees;"
    
    conEmployees.Execute strSQL
    
    MsgBox "The Employees table of the Exercise.accdb database has been deleted."
    
    Set conEmployees = Nothing
End Sub
