In a company's database, you have been instructed to delete an entire table named 'EmployeeRecords' that is no longer needed. Which statement would you execute to accomplish this task?
REMOVE TABLE EmployeeRecords;
DROP TABLE EmployeeRecords;
TRUNCATE TABLE EmployeeRecords;
DELETE FROM EmployeeRecords;
The correct answer, DROP TABLE EmployeeRecords;, is the standard SQL command to delete an entire table from a database. The command removes the table and its data, so it should be used with caution. The incorrect answers involve either syntax errors, incorrect commands, or operations that perform actions other than deleting an entire table. DELETE FROM EmployeeRecords; would remove all the data in the table but not the table itself. REMOVE TABLE EmployeeRecords; is not a valid SQL command. TRUNCATE TABLE EmployeeRecords; would delete all the data in the table, but the table structure would remain.
