DROP SCHEMA(7) PostgreSQL 18.6 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 5.15). RESTRICT Refuse to drop the schema if it contains any objects. This is the de- fault. 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 con- tains: 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.
