phpmyadmin enable drop database statement

Question

I was alerted by my hosting provider that I exceed my 1000 table limit. I have a lot of databases and would like to delete more at once. Unfortunaltley they don\'t have a multis

Answer 1

I had problems with most of these approaches.

My installation is hosted so I don't have access to the PHP config files and the PHPMyAdmin interface is not displaying the "Remove Database" section mentioned above (under the Operations Tab). The icon in the corner didn't work either.

What I realised you can do is create a stored procedure to delete your table.

Go to "Routines", "Add Routine" and create a stored procedure with the single line:

DROP DATABASE databasename

When that's created you can execute it and the database will get deleted.
