## Drop object statements

A drop statement removes an object (which could be a table, view, or index) from the database schema. Drop statements are not for removing rows from tables -- for that, refer to the documentation on [delete statements](/rezoom-sql/language/deletestmt.md).

#### *drop-stmt*

You must specify the type of object you are removing with a drop statement. If you specify it incorrectly, RZSQL will yell at you during compilation. For example, if you write:

```sql
drop table Foo
```

This is valid if and only if `Foo` is a table. If `Foo` is a view, this code will not compile.
