Deleting in MySQL

OK, reeeealy stupid question, but how do I delete a database in MySQL?

Thanks!

you can do it from the mysql command line

drop databasename;

gone 🙂

that was actually the first thing I tried:

mysql> drop ul_market;
ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'ul_market' at line 1

I'm logged in as root and the name of the db is spelled correctly. What am I doing wrong?

My fault (Its been a long day)

drop database databasename;
