Hello,

I have a question about dropping MySQL databases. I backup my databases using the following command:

mysqldump db_name | gzip > db_name.gz


I can scp the file to another server (Server B) and restore the database by executing the following 2 commands:

mysqladmin create db_name
gunzip < db_name.gz | mysql db_name


If I drop the database on Server B, the following message is displayed:

Database "db_name" dropped


But the database still shows up when I issue the following command:

mysqlshow


So my question is, why isnt the database being dropped?
