SQL: deleting tables with prefix

Just another solution using GROUP_CONCAT so it will execute one drop query like
DROP TABLE table1,table2,..

SET @Drop_Stm = CONCAT('DROP TABLE ', (
      SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(TABLE_NAME) AS All_Tables FROM information_schema.tables 
      WHERE TABLE_NAME LIKE 'prefix_%' AND TABLE_SCHEMA = 'database_name'
)); 
PREPARE Stm FROM @Drop_Stm; 
EXECUTE Stm;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE Stm;

I just wanted to post the exact SQL I used - it's something of a mixture of the top 3 answers:

SET GROUP_CONCAT_MAX_LEN=10000;

SET @del = (
    SELECT      CONCAT('DROP TABLE ', GROUP_CONCAT(TABLE_NAME), ';')
    FROM        information_schema.TABLES

    WHERE       TABLE_SCHEMA = 'database_name'
    AND         TABLE_NAME LIKE 'prefix_%'
);

PREPARE stmt FROM @del;
EXECUTE stmt;
DEALLOCATE PREPARE stmt;
