 .SH NAME
-drop table \(em destroy existing classes
+drop \(em destroy existing attributes
 .SH SYNOPSIS
 .nf
-\fBdrop table\fR classname-1 { \fB,\fR classname-i }
+\fBdrop {aggregate|database|function|index|operator
+     |rule|sequence|table|trigger|type|view}\fR
 .fi
 .SH DESCRIPTION
-.BR "Drop Table"
-removes classes from the data base.  Only its owner may destroy a
-class.  A class may be emptied of instances, but not destroyed, by
-using 
-.IR delete (l).
-.PP
-If a class being destroyed has secondary indices on it, then they will
-be removed first.  The removal of just a secondary index will not
-affect the indexed class.
-.PP
-The destruction of classes is not reversable.  Thus, a destroyed class
-will not be recovered if a transaction which destroys this class fails
-to commit.  In addition, historical access to instances in a destroyed
-class is not possible.
-.SH EXAMPLE
-.nf
---
---Destroy the emp class
---
-drop table emp
-.fi
-.nf
---
---Destroy the emp and parts classes
---
-drop table emp, parts
-.fi
