dap dropdb

Delete a synchronized table in a database

With the dap dropdb command, you can completely drop a table from your database that was previously created with dap initdb. An error is triggered if the given table does not exist in the target database.

This command not only drops the specified table from the target database but also removes meta-information used for synchronization.
