How to Drop a Table in Oracle Apex?

Dropping a table in Oracle Apex is a simple process that involves executing a SQL statement. Here's how you can do it:

1. Log in to your Oracle Apex workspace and navigate to the SQL Workshop.

2. Select the "SQL Commands" tab.

3. Enter the following SQL statement:

   DROP TABLE table_name;

   Replace table_name with the actual name of the table you want to drop.

4. Click the "Run" button.

Oracle Apex will execute the command and drop the specified table.

Important Considerations:

• Data Loss: Dropping a table permanently deletes all data associated with it. Make sure you have a backup or are comfortable losing the data before proceeding.
• Dependencies: If other tables or objects depend on the table you're about to drop, you'll need to handle those dependencies first. Otherwise, you'll encounter errors.

Example:

To drop a table named employees, use the following SQL statement:

DROP TABLE employees;
