DROP 
DATABASE(7)					  PostgreSQL 9.2.7 Documentation					  DROP DATABASE(7)

NAME

       DROP_DATABASE - remove a database

SYNOPSIS

       DROP DATABASE [ IF EXISTS ] name

DESCRIPTION

       DROP DATABASE drops a database. It removes the catalog entries for the database and deletes the directory containing the data. It can only
       be executed by the database owner. Also, it cannot be executed while you or anyone else are connected to the target database. (Connect to
       postgres or any other database to issue this command.)

       DROP DATABASE cannot be undone. Use it with care!

PARAMETERS

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

       name
	   The name of the database to remove.

NOTES

       DROP DATABASE cannot be executed inside a transaction block.

       This command cannot be executed while connected to the target database. Thus, it might be more convenient to use the program dropdb(1)
       instead, which is a wrapper around this command.

COMPATIBILITY

       There is no DROP DATABASE statement in the SQL standard.

TABLESPACE(7)					  PostgreSQL 9.2.7 Documentation					DROP TABLESPACE(7)

NAME

       DROP_TABLESPACE - remove a tablespace

SYNOPSIS

       DROP TABLESPACE [ IF EXISTS ] name

DESCRIPTION

       DROP TABLESPACE removes a tablespace from the system.

       A tablespace can only be dropped by its owner or a superuser. The tablespace must be empty of all database objects before it can be
       dropped. It is possible that objects in other databases might still reside in the tablespace even if no objects in the current database are
       using the tablespace. Also, if the tablespace is listed in the temp_tablespaces setting of any active session, the DROP might fail due to
       temporary files residing in the tablespace.

PARAMETERS

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

       name
	   The name of a tablespace.

NOTES

       DROP TABLESPACE cannot be executed inside a transaction block.

EXAMPLES

       To remove tablespace mystuff from the system:

	   DROP TABLESPACE mystuff;

COMPATIBILITY

       DROP TABLESPACE is a PostgreSQL extension.
