# 8.5. Creating and Modifying Database Objects

To create, modify or drop a database object like a table or view you use the `execute()` method. `execute` is similar to the `executeQuery()` used to issue a select, however it doesn't return a result.

Example 8-3. Drop Table Example

This example will drop a table.

    Statement st = db.createStatement();
    ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("DROP TABLE mytable");
    st.close();
