SYNOPSIS

        db_drop.pl

DESCRIPTION

This will drop a database for you. This script requires you to have a def file (XML definition) of the database structure and a connection file (XML db connection data) so that the software knows how to contact the database (which host port etc...).

Use the script with care since all the data in the affected database will be erased.
