DROP EXTENSION(7)	PostgreSQL 9.6.20 Documentation	     DROP EXTENSION(7)

NAME
       DROP_EXTENSION -	remove an extension

SYNOPSIS
       DROP EXTENSION [	IF EXISTS ] name [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION
       DROP EXTENSION removes extensions from the database. Dropping an
       extension causes	its component objects to be dropped as well.

       You must	own the	extension to use DROP EXTENSION.

PARAMETERS
       IF EXISTS
	   Do not throw	an error if the	extension does not exist. A notice is
	   issued in this case.

       name
	   The name of an installed extension.

       CASCADE
	   Automatically drop objects that depend on the extension, and	in
	   turn	all objects that depend	on those objects (see Section 5.13,
	   "Dependency Tracking", in the documentation).

       RESTRICT
	   Refuse to drop the extension	if any objects depend on it (other
	   than	its own	member objects and other extensions listed in the same
	   DROP	command). This is the default.

EXAMPLES
       To remove the extension hstore from the current database:

	   DROP	EXTENSION hstore;

       This command will fail if any of	hstore's objects are in	use in the
       database, for example if	any tables have	columns	of the hstore type.
       Add the CASCADE option to forcibly remove those dependent objects as
       well.

COMPATIBILITY
       DROP EXTENSION is a PostgreSQL extension.
