Chapter 7. Creating and Modifying Database Objects
To create, modify or drop a database object like a table or view
you use the execute() method. This method is
similar to the method executeQuery(), but it
doesn't return a result. Example 7.1, “Dropping a Table in JDBC”
illustrates the usage.
Example 7.1. Dropping a Table in JDBC
This example will drop a table.
Statement st = db.createStatement();
st.execute("DROP TABLE mytable");
st.close();
