Find Tables by column names

While I was refactroing a legacy SQL server database I wanted to drop all the tables under a schema. Below is the query I used.

DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(max)=''

SELECT @sql += ' Drop table ' + QUOTENAME(TABLE_SCHEMA) + '.'+ QUOTENAME(TABLE_NAME) + '; '
FROM   INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES A
WHERE  TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
and A.TABLE_SCHEMA = 'tmp'


Exec Sp_executesql @sql
