Is there a standard SQL command that when a table is to be dropped, it drops all the views on it as well?

No, there is no standard way to drop a table and all associated views. I know Postgres has a CASCADE option but that's implementation specific - MySQL accepts CASCADE but does absolutely nothing with it.

There is not a standardized command across all rdms that will drop a table and it's bounded view(s) in one operation.
