    Hello,

    Does anybody know of away to "uninstall" tables that were installed by a program such as mambo cms...

    It is so simple to add tables to a database and I know how to manually "drop" (delete) the tables, but how do I select MORE than one table at at time to delete?

    Can I run some sort of mysql query that will delete certain tables?

    Thanks for any help.

    -Jon

    Certainly, with a comma separated list of the certain tables you want to drop:

    DROP TABLE table1, table2, table5, table7;

    Don't your host install phpmyadmin for your database administration? In phpmyadmin, just overall check all tables and select drop. However it's just like what tflight said in essence.

    One MySQL query to end them all!
