DROP SCHEMA(7) PostgreSQL 9.6.6 Documentation DROP SCHEMA(7)
NAME
DROP_SCHEMA - remove a schema
SYNOPSIS
DROP SCHEMA [ IF EXISTS ] name [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]
DESCRIPTION
DROP SCHEMA removes schemas from the database.
A schema can only be dropped by its owner or a superuser. Note that the
owner can drop the schema (and thereby all contained objects) even if
they do not own some of the objects within the schema.
PARAMETERS
IF EXISTS
Do not throw an error if the schema does not exist. A notice is
issued in this case.
name
The name of a schema.
CASCADE
Automatically drop objects (tables, functions, etc.) that are
contained in the schema, and in turn all objects that depend on
those objects (see Section 5.13, "Dependency Tracking", in the
documentation).
RESTRICT
Refuse to drop the schema if it contains any objects. This is the
default.
NOTES
Using the CASCADE option might make the command remove objects in other
schemas besides the one(s) named.
EXAMPLES
To remove schema mystuff from the database, along with everything it
contains:
DROP SCHEMA mystuff CASCADE;
COMPATIBILITY
DROP SCHEMA is fully conforming with the SQL standard, except that the
standard only allows one schema to be dropped per command, and apart
from the IF EXISTS option, which is a PostgreSQL extension.
