DROP TRIGGER(7) PostgreSQL 18.6 Documentation DROP TRIGGER(7) NAME DROP_TRIGGER - remove a trigger SYNOPSIS DROP TRIGGER [ IF EXISTS ] name ON table_name [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ] DESCRIPTION DROP TRIGGER removes an existing trigger definition. To execute this com- mand, the current user must be the owner of the table for which the trigger is defined. PARAMETERS IF EXISTS Do not throw an error if the trigger does not exist. A notice is issued in this case. name The name of the trigger to remove. table_name The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the table for which the trig- ger is defined. CASCADE Automatically drop objects that depend on the trigger, and in turn all objects that depend on those objects (see Section 5.15). RESTRICT Refuse to drop the trigger if any objects depend on it. This is the de- fault. EXAMPLES Destroy the trigger if_dist_exists on the table films: DROP TRIGGER if_dist_exists ON films; COMPATIBILITY The DROP TRIGGER statement in PostgreSQL is incompatible with the SQL stan- dard. In the SQL standard, trigger names are not local to tables, so the command is simply DROP TRIGGER name. SEE ALSO CREATE TRIGGER (CREATE_TRIGGER(7)) PostgreSQL 18.6 2026 DROP TRIGGER(7)
