when drop a database using Spring JPA EntityManager native query, runs into SQLGrammarException

I try to drop a database using EntityManager native query but it throws SQLGrammarException

Code snippet:

entityManager.createNativeQuery("DROP DATABASE :schema").setParameter("schema", test_schema).executeUpdate();

It Throws:

Caused by: java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''test_schema'' at line 1

Method 1

After more tries, I think It not supported in JPQL.
So I used JDBC to do this.

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;

public class JDBCExample {
   static final String DB_URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/";
   static final String USER = "root";
   static final String PASS = "root";

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      // Open a connection
      try(Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL, USER, PASS);
         Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
      ) {             
         String sql = "DROP DATABASE database_name";
         stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
         System.out.println("Database dropped successfully...");      
      } catch (SQLException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      } 
   }
}
