I wrote a java application that interacts with my database and there was a problem with it. I had to delete the database since there were too many erroneous changes made by my application. I was careful and backed up my database before I ran the program, so I proceeded to drop the entire database with the intention of reverting back to the original.
I used phpMyAdmin to drop the database in question, but after 20 minutes it seemed like nothing was happening so I forced the browser to close and reloaded PMA. Expectedly, the database I wanted to delete still shows up in the list of databases in PMA, but when I try to access it, the browser goes blank and hangs. I tried to access the database from the terminal (I'm using OS X 10.4.11), and when I type 'use name_of_database', the terminal itself hangs too. I also tried to drop the database once again in the terminal, but that also hangs.
How can I get rid of this database now? I could always reload my database under a different name, but this one will still be here and I really want to get rid of it. Any ideas?
