Description​

DROP GROUP removes an existing group.

Unless the IF EXISTS clause is applied, an error is raised and the command fails if the group does not exist.

When a group is removed, all members of the group lose the permissions inherited through the group.

Examples​

DROP GROUP admins;

DROP GROUP IF EXISTS admins;

It can be verified with:

SHOW GROUPS;

that does not include admins in its result.
