Hi,

I have created 4 tables in 'amit' database and then I deleted them. Still I able to get information about the table_schema for the table deleted.
After drop table when I fire a query for table_schema from information_schema.tables it will give me result as 'amit'. I didn't understand why it is happnes.

I am using MySQL version 5.1.34essential.

See the below steps done.

mysql> use amit;
mysql> show tables;

| clconf |
| clmstr |
| clmt14 |
| clsync |
+----------------+

mysql> select table_name from information_schema.table

Tables are not present in information_schema.tables after delete

But still responding to query for table_schema.

you dropped the tables, but you haven't dropped the database

Yes, I am not dropped the database.

But How can we get the table information from the database if they are not present.

If I do "show tables" for that database or information_schema.tables then i will not see table. When I Restart mysql service and then tried the same query like
mysql> select table_schema from information_schema.tables where table_name='CLSync';

It does not give me anything even the database is not dropped.
