rails-db: Destroy the databases defined in the current environment.
$ rails db:drop
try on your machine
The command "rails db:drop" is used in Ruby on Rails applications to drop or delete the entire database associated with the application.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "rails": Refers to the Ruby on Rails command-line interface (CLI), which provides a set of commands for managing Rails applications.
- "db": Refers to the database-related commands within the Rails CLI.
- "drop": Specifies the specific database command to drop or delete the entire database.
When the "rails db:drop" command is executed, it will permanently delete the database connected to the Rails application. This action is irreversible, so it should be used with caution. It is often used when there is a need to completely reset or recreate the database from scratch.
