Hi,

does anybody know how to delete a table using dal.py? I need to
provide users with the choice of starting a process from scratch (and
over and over again until satisfied). Which means on the first go, a
user who is defining some steps in a software build setup, may be
configuring, let' call call it step_E,  which cause a table to be
created @ runtime. Then as the user is continuing to setup and tweak
his build setup, he may decide that step_F is better suited. Since
these tables are created on the fly and that step_E is being replaced
with step_F, the step_E table needs to disappear.  So, is their a way
to not just drop the records, but he entire table it self? if not when
all tables get delivered as part of the overall build reports, then
the testers will look at the contents and see an empty container (the
step_E table)... from experience, this type of confusion never, ever,
goes away. so to have a method to look at the set of generated tables,
and remove those not listed is the best remedy.

And, if I tell them to blow away the entire staging area and start
over, there will be some panic ;) So, we keep the good tables where we
don't update/insert if nothing new and delete the bad tables... Can
anyone help?

Again,any help is appreciated,

Thanks,
Mart :)
