in DROP TABLE command it will remove the table containts as
well as table structure from the database catalog, also it
release all the storage space it has acquired previously.
we can't rollback it as it is a ddl command.
but in case of DELETE TABLE command it just delete all the
records but not relaese the spaces it acquires .it can be
rollback as it is a dml command.
