Feature Request / Improvement
There are times when a schema or database needs to be removed from the namespace (DROP). This is currently not possible if there are tables in them (no CASCADE like functionality). This requires the tables to be deleted one by one. If there are a lot of tables this can be a very tedious process, especially if the table names do not follow any pattern.
I think it would be helpful to have the ability to bulk delete tables.
