Drop User

Drop User is simple if you keep it on paper. Ananya uses it for a Drop User dry-run in a campus project.

For Drop User, the query planner is in play. Don’t blame it until you have traced a Drop User dry-run.

Drop User exists so Ananya can keep a Drop User dry-run correct in a campus project.

Use Drop User when a Drop User dry-run must stay clear. If a simpler SQL step works, use that instead.

If a Drop User dry-run breaks under Drop User, check copy-pasting Drop User without a dry-run first.

Place Drop User next to nearby SQL work — one Drop User step Ananya can write from memory is the link.

Viva for Drop User: what it is → one Drop User step Ananya can write from memory → the mistake (copy-pasting Drop User without a dry-run).

Exam tip

Say Drop User in one breath, then one Drop User step Ananya can write from memory, then copy-pasting Drop User without a dry-run.

Drop User — sample query

-- Drop User
CREATE TABLE demo (
  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
  label TEXT NOT NULL,
  qty INTEGER DEFAULT 0
);
INSERT INTO demo (id, label, qty) VALUES
  (1, 'alpha', 2),
  (2, 'beta', 5);
SELECT label, qty FROM demo WHERE qty >= 2 ORDER BY qty DESC;

Drop User: create two demo rows, then SELECT qty >= 2 ordered. Say which labels come back.
