## Name

DropGeometryTable — Drops a table and all its references in geometry_columns.

## Synopsis

`boolean DropGeometryTable(`varchar table_name`)`;

`boolean DropGeometryTable(`varchar schema_name, varchar table_name`)`;

`boolean DropGeometryTable(`varchar catalog_name, varchar schema_name, varchar table_name`)`;

## Description

Drops a table and all its references in geometry_columns. Note: uses current_schema() on schema-aware pgsql installations if schema is not provided.

Changed: 2.0.0 This function is provided for backward compatibility. Now that since geometry_columns is now a view against the system catalogs, you can drop a table with geometry columns like any other table using `DROP TABLE`

## Examples

    SELECT DropGeometryTable ('my_schema','my_spatial_table');
    ----RESULT output ---
    my_schema.my_spatial_table dropped.

    -- The above is now equivalent to --
    DROP TABLE my_schema.my_spatial_table;
