The DROP TABLE command is used to completely remove an existing table from a database, along with all the data it contains. This action cannot be undone, and the table structure is also removed. The DELETE command would remove the data but leave the table structure intact. The TRUNCATE TABLE command removes all rows from a table but also leaves the table structure intact. The REMOVE TABLE command does not exist in SQL.
