How do you use dropping a view with an example?

In MySQL, dropping a view is a straightforward operation that removes an existing view from the database. A view is a virtual table based on the result of a SELECT query, and dropping it does not affect the underlying tables used in the view.

To drop a view, you can use the DROP VIEW statement followed by the name of the view you want to remove. Here is the syntax:

DROP VIEW view_name;

### Example:

Suppose you've created a view called employee_view that selects data from an employees table. If you want to remove this view, you would execute the following command:

DROP VIEW employee_view;

After executing this command, the employee_view will be removed from your database.
