在终端中使用命令的postgres dropdb

Question

With Postgres you can add a new database with the following command on Ubuntu: sudo -u postgres /usr/bin/createdb --echo --owner=root foobar But how can I remove that database? sudo -u postgres /usr/bin/dropdb --echo --owner=root foobar doesn't work, but the dropdb does exists in /usr/bin.

Answer 1

To drop a PostgreSQL database using the dropdb executable use:

dropdb -h host -p port -U username dbname

Then fill in the password of username .
