    How to grant DROP table permission within a database to an SQL login. I could see in Databae properties-> permission tab, there is an option to grant CREATE TABLE, EXECUTE permission etc, but not DROP table permission. How to grant it?

    You won't be able to get that granular from my experience. You will have to give more broad access to a database.

    Create a stored proc to with constraints to limit what someone can drop. Add EXECUTE AS OWNER to the proc and then give the user permissions just to run the proc.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.

    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    To drop a table, the user needs either CONTROL on the table, or ALTER on the schema like so

    GRANT CONTROL ON OBJECT::[dbo].[bob] TO [someuser]

    GRANT ALTER ON SCHEMA::[dbo] TO [someuser]
