Hi,

I have created 4 tables in 'amit' database and then I deleted them. Still I able to get information about the table_schema for the table deleted.
After drop table when I fire a query for table_schema from information_schema.tables it will give me result as 'amit'. I didn't understand why it is happnes.

I am using Mysql 5.1.34essential version.

See the below steps done.

mysql> use amit;
mysql> show tables;

| clmstr |
| clmt14 |
| clsync |
