Example 15-38 Dropping a Library

The following statement drops the ext_lib library, which was created in "CREATE LIBRARY Statement":

DROP LIBRARY IF EXISTS ext_lib;

If ext_lib does not already exist, this statement is ignored without error. Note that the output message is the same whether or not the library exists (in this case, Library dropped.).
