Question

When the correct SQL command is used to delete a table's structure, can the command be used with a table that has already had its data removed?

1) True
2) False

Answer 1

It is true that the SQL command to delete a table's structure can be used with a table that has had its data removed. SQL 'DROP TABLE' command is indifferent to whether or not the table contains data.

Step-by-step explanation:

When considering the correct SQL command to delete a table's structure, it is true that the command can be used whether or not the table has data. The SQL DROP TABLE statement is used to remove a table's structure from the database regardless of its data content. If the data has already been removed using a DELETE statement, it has no impact on the ability to use DROP TABLE.

To address the prompts briefly:

• One table is not more correct than the other in this context; the question pertains to the ability to drop a table, not to the correctness of table design.
• Data can be grouped in many ways depending on the requirement of the database schema, query performance and normalization standards.
• There was no switching between tables in this explanation as the question solely focused on the use of dropping a table
