15.6 删除视图

15.6　删除视图

当数据库不再需要视图时，就可以将视图删除。删除视图的语法格式如下：

---

DROP VIEW [IF EXISTS]
    view_name [, view_name] ...
    [RESTRICT | CASCADE]

---

例如，删除名称为view_category的视图。

---

mysql> DROP VIEW view_category;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

---

查看view_category视图的结构。

---

mysql> DESC view_category;
ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table 'goods.view_category' doesn't exist

---

MySQL报错，提示view_category不存在。说明已经成功将view_category视图删除。
