NAME

       dbs_dumptabdata - Creates file set with SQL table data

DESCRIPTION

       dbs_dumptabdata is an utility to create a file set with SQL table data.	For each table in the database dbs_dumptabdata calls the appropri-
       ate dumper utility with the output directed to a file named table.sql in the current directory. dbs_dumptabdata asks for a password if nec-
       essary.

COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS

       Required command line parameters are the DBI driver ("Pg" for Postgres or "mysql" for MySQL) and the database name. The third parameter is
       optionally and specifies the database user and/or the host where the database resides ("racke", "racke@linuxia.de" or "@linuxia.de").

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

       -t TABLE[,TABLE,...], --tables=TABLE[,TABLE,...]

       Comma-separated list of tables to dump.

       --exclude-matching-tables=REGEXP

       Excludes any table matching the regular expression REGEXP from dumping.

       --use-printtab

       Uses generic dump (similar to "dbs_printtab") instead of the dumper utility provided by the DBMS.

BUGS

       msql is not supported.

NAME

       DROP TABLE - remove a table

SYNOPSIS

       DROP TABLE [ IF EXISTS ] name [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION

       DROP  TABLE  removes tables from the database.  Only its owner can drop a table. To empty a table of rows without destroying the table, use
       DELETE [delete(7)] or TRUNCATE [truncate(7)].

       DROP TABLE always removes any indexes, rules, triggers, and constraints that exist for the target table.  However, to drop a table that	is
       referenced  by  a  view	or  a  foreign-key  constraint	of another table, CASCADE must be specified. (CASCADE will remove a dependent view
       entirely, but in the foreign-key case it will only remove the foreign-key constraint, not the other table entirely.)

PARAMETERS

       IF EXISTS
	      Do not throw an error if the table does not exist. A notice is issued in this case.

       name   The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the table to drop.

       CASCADE
	      Automatically drop objects that depend on the table (such as views).

       RESTRICT
	      Refuse to drop the table if any objects depend on it. This is the default.

EXAMPLES

       To destroy two tables, films and distributors:

       DROP TABLE films, distributors;

COMPATIBILITY

       This command conforms to the SQL standard, except that the standard only allows one table to be dropped per command, and apart from the	IF
       EXISTS option, which is a PostgreSQL extension.
