DROP SCHEMA(7)		 PostgreSQL 17.5 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 5.15).

       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.

SEE ALSO
       ALTER SCHEMA (ALTER_SCHEMA(7)), CREATE SCHEMA (CREATE_SCHEMA(7))
