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.
