DROP TABLE removes tables from the database.
Only its owner may destroy a table. To empty a table of rows,

triggers, and constraints that exist for the target table.
However, to drop a table that is referenced by a foreign-key
constraint of another table, CASCADE must be
specified. (CASCADE will remove the foreign-key
constraint, not the other table entirely.)
