 * I am wondering what is the best way to DROP the TABLE that has been created for
   the Plugin once a user removes the Plugin.
 * Thanks

 * Sounds like phpmyadmin would do the trick. I’ve never used it though.

 * Seems like the only way is for the user to hit a button on their admin screen
   that will delete the database. I wonder if I am overlooking something that going
   on when a plugin is deactivated.

 * I would leave it alone if I where you. Leave it up to the user. No harm done.
   Its just a table anyways. 😉

 * Lots of people use “phpmyadmin” because it’s browser-based and quite suited for
   beginners. An alternative is to use SSH and do it with the MySQL client that 
   comes with the database installation. Check with your host.
