Drop a database in SQL

To delete a database, you use the DROP DATABASE expression followed by the name of the database. The formula used is:

DROP DATABASE DatabaseName;

Here is an example: 

DROP DATABASE RealEstate1;
GO
To start from a sample code, open an empty Query window and display the Template Explorer. From the Template Explorer, expand Database. Drag the Drop Database node and drop it in the Query window:
-- =========================
-- Drop Database Template
-- =========================
USE master
GO

IF  EXISTS (
 SELECT name 
  FROM sys.databases 
  WHERE name = N'<Database_Name, sysname, Database_Name>'
)
DROP DATABASE <Database_Name, sysname, Database_Name>
GO
To delete a database in SQL Server Management Studio, in the Object Explorer, expand the Databases node, right-click the undesired database, and click Delete. A dialog box would prompt you to confirm your intention
If you still want to delete the database, you can click OK. If you change your mind, you can click Cancel

SQL JOINS &UNION

SQL JOIN The JOIN keyword is used in an SQL statement to query data from two or more tables, based on a relationship between certain columns in these tables. Tables in a database are often related to each other with keys. A primary key is a column (or a combination of columns) with a unique value for each row. Each primary key value must be unique within the table. The purpose is to bind data together, across tables, without repeating all of the data in every table. Look at the "Persons" table: P_Id LastName FirstName Address City 1 Hansen Ola Timoteivn 10 Sandnes 2 Svendson Tove Borgvn 23 Sandnes 3 Pettersen Kari Storgt 20 Stavanger Note that the "P_Id" column is the primary key in the "Persons" table. This means that  no  two rows can have the same P_Id. The P_Id distinguishes two persons even if they have the same name. Next, we have the "Orders" table: O_Id OrderNo P_Id 1 77895 3 2 44678 3 3 22456 1 4 24562 1 5 34764 15 Note that the "O_...
