Thanks for the pointers. I forgot to mention I had looked the on-line MySQL documents about 'drop table' before I posted my questions. Unfortunately, neither the previous discussions on the subject nor the document provided the anwsers I've been looking for. Enumerating all the tables to be dropped is not acceptable to us. Thanks anyway.
