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 to use another icon in CPanel (Databases section / MySqlDatabases) instead of (Databases Section / phpMyAdmin).

(... since my shared web-host provider disables the DROP DATABASE command, and initially limits access to command line and config files.)

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

did you try deleting the database by logging in to mySQL using SSH if you have not already..

sudo mysql -u yourmysqlusername -p (enter the password when prompted.)

mysql> SHOW DATABASES; (find your database)

mysql> USE YOURDATABSETODROP; (CHANGE THE DATABASE)

mysql> DROP DATABASE YOURDATABSETODROP; (and you are done.)
