if you wish to drop a table just go into mysql and type this
Code:
MySql> use databasename;
Database Changed
MySql> drop table tablename;
Query OK, Yadda Yadda
If you wish to back up your database open up your command prompt (open start menue, go to run, open cmd) or open your MS-DOS prompt
then type this in
[Prompt]
C:\>cd c:\mysql\bin
C:\Mysql\Bin\> mysqldump databasename > filename.sql
[/Prompt]
That will put your database in a sql file
If you want just a specific table from your database dumped so you can do a drop table command type this
[Prompt]
C:\>cd c:\mysql\bin
C:\Mysql\Bin\> mysqldump databasename tablename > filename.sql
[/Prompt]
Hope that helps
