-.TH "DROP TABLE" SQL 11/05/95 Postgres95 Postgres95
-.SH NAME
-drop table \(em destroy existing classes
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-\fBdrop table\fR classname-1 { \fB,\fR classname-i }
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.BR "Drop Table"
-removes classes from the data base. Only its owner may destroy a
-class. A class may be emptied of instances, but not destroyed, by
-using
-.IR delete (l).
-.PP
-If a class being destroyed has secondary indices on it, then they will
-be removed first. The removal of just a secondary index will not
-affect the indexed class.
-.PP
-The destruction of classes is not reversable. Thus, a destroyed class
-will not be recovered if a transaction which destroys this class fails
-to commit. In addition, historical access to instances in a destroyed
-class is not possible.
-.SH EXAMPLE
