drop_type(7) [centos man page]

DROP 
TYPE(7)						  PostgreSQL 9.2.7 Documentation					      DROP TYPE(7)

NAME

       DROP_TYPE - remove a data type

SYNOPSIS

       DROP TYPE [ IF EXISTS ] name [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION

       DROP TYPE removes a user-defined data type. Only the owner of a type can remove it.

PARAMETERS

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

       name
	   The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the data type to remove.

       CASCADE
	   Automatically drop objects that depend on the type (such as table columns, functions, operators).

       RESTRICT
	   Refuse to drop the type if any objects depend on it. This is the default.

EXAMPLES

       To remove the data type box:

	   DROP TYPE box;

COMPATIBILITY

       This command is similar to the corresponding command in the SQL standard, apart from the IF EXISTS option, which is a PostgreSQL extension.
       But note that much of the CREATE TYPE command and the data type extension mechanisms in PostgreSQL differ from the SQL standard.

SEE ALSO

       ALTER TYPE (ALTER_TYPE(7)), CREATE TYPE (CREATE_TYPE(7))

DROP FOREIGN 
TABLE(7)					  PostgreSQL 9.2.7 Documentation				     DROP FOREIGN TABLE(7)

NAME

       DROP_FOREIGN_TABLE - remove a foreign table

SYNOPSIS

       DROP FOREIGN TABLE [ IF EXISTS ] name [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION

       DROP FOREIGN TABLE removes a foreign table. Only the owner of a foreign table can remove it.

PARAMETERS

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

       name
	   The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the foreign table to drop.

       CASCADE
	   Automatically drop objects that depend on the foreign table (such as views).

       RESTRICT
	   Refuse to drop the foreign table if any objects depend on it. This is the default.

EXAMPLES

       To destroy two foreign tables, films and distributors:

	   DROP FOREIGN TABLE films, distributors;

COMPATIBILITY

       This command conforms to the ISO/IEC 9075-9 (SQL/MED), except that the standard only allows one foreign table to be dropped per command,
       and apart from the IF EXISTS option, which is a PostgreSQL extension.
