Is the DROP command classified as a DDL or DML command in Oracle SQL?

 In Oracle SQL, the DROP command is classified as a Data Definition Language (DDL) command.

Explanation:

  • DDL commands are used to define, modify, or remove database structures, such as tables, views, indexes, and other schema objects.
  • The DROP command is used to permanently delete a database object (e.g., a table, view, or schema) from the database.

For example:

DROP TABLE employees;

This command permanently removes the employees table along with all its data, structure, and related constraints.

DDL commands, including DROP, are automatically committed in Oracle SQL, meaning changes cannot be rolled back.
