General mysql Question

[ullas]

Hey guys,

This is a general mysql question, When I use a drop database command from the mysql command line (dos interface), it fails to delete the database. Does anyone know why this happens ?

eg. drop database <databasename>;

After this when I do a "show databases" it still displays the deleted database.

Anyone here, who can throw some light on this, I am pretty much a newb :twisted:

it might not drop the database if you (1) don't have access to drop from the command line or (2) the database is in use or (3) the database is corrupted.
