v.db.droptable removes an existing attribute table from a given vector map linked at given layer. If the -f force flag is not given then nothing is removed.

v.db.droptable is a front-end to db.execute to allow easier usage.

The existing database connection(s) can be verified with v.db.connect.

Removing attribute table connected to layer 1: 

g.copy vect=roadsmajor,myroads
v.db.droptable myroads
v.db.droptable myroads -f
v.db.connect -p myroads
