 * Hello, I use this code to drop a table :
 * `if ($wpdb->query(" DROP TABLE`$table_name` “)) {
    $message.=’
    - table **‘.$table_name.’** dropped successfully.
    - ‘;
       } else { $message.=’
    - problem while dropping table **‘.$table_name.’**.
    - ‘;
       }`
    - The script IS correctly dropping the table; but show the incorrect message(‘
      problem while dropping table….’), do you know why ?
    - Also, is it possible to make a request to directly disable the plugin from
      my plugin page ?

 * Can’t answer your question but maybe point you to an example.
 * Take a look at how Gamerz does the uninstall for WP-PostRatings 1.20 plugin. 
   There’s a table drop and a deactivation in there.
