Depending on your database, is there a way of defining the user as identified externally, i.e. I trust them because they have logged on to the server?
With Oracle you can set this up then just need a simple sqlplus / from the command line or a script to get connected. No credentials needed thereafter. Naturally it does not work for network connections to the database as that would be insecure.
What type of database are you connecting to?

DROP
DATABASE(7) SQL Commands DROP DATABASE(7)
NAME
DROP DATABASE - remove a database
SYNOPSIS
DROP DATABASE name
INPUTS
name The name of an existing database to remove.
OUTPUTS
DROP DATABASE
This message is returned if the command is successful.
DROP DATABASE: cannot be executed on the currently open database
You cannot be connected to the database you are about to remove. Instead, connect to template1 or any other database and run this
command again.
DROP DATABASE: may not be called in a transaction block
You must finish the transaction in progress before you can call this command.
DESCRIPTION
DROP DATABASE removes the catalog entries for an existing database and deletes the directory containing the data. It can only be executed
by the database owner (usually the user that created it).
DROP DATABASE cannot be undone. Use it with care!
NOTES
This command cannot be executed while connected to the target database. Thus, it might be more convenient to use the shell script dropdb
[dropdb(1)], which is a wrapper around this command, instead.
Refer to CREATE DATABASE [create_database(7)] for information on how to create a database.
COMPATIBILITY
SQL92
DROP DATABASE statement is a PostgreSQL language extension; there is no such command in SQL92.
