I am very new to SQL server and i am not really good at it.

I wanted to delete one table dbo (dbo.xxx) I used DROP and it seems to be successfully executed but when i restart the sql server again, the dbo.xxx is still sitting the database.

Can somebody provides me with the info?

DROP should give you an error message if the table cannot be dropped. perhaps whatever tool you are using is not showing you the error message?

You cannot drop a table that has a Foreign Key relationship with a Child Table. And you cannot drop a table if you don't have permission . and maybe, just maybe, something else is detecting the the table has been dropped and silently recreating it. Or maybe you DROPped it in a Transaction, and the Transaction was then rolled back.

But other than that I don't think there are reasons why your DROP would have failed.
