.. warning::
This is not a security measure as there will be always ways to
circumvent this. If you want to prohibit users from dropping databases,
revoke them corresponding DROP privilege.
Defines whether normal users (non-administrator) are allowed to delete
their own database or not. If set as false, the link :guilabel:`Drop
Database` will not be shown, and even a ``DROP DATABASE mydatabase`` will
be rejected. Quite practical for :term:`ISP` 's with many customers.
.. note::
This limitation of :term:`SQL` queries is not
as strict as when using MySQL privileges. This is due to nature of
:term:`SQL` queries which might be quite
complicated. So this choice should be viewed as help to avoid accidental
dropping rather than strict privilege limitation.
