drop_user

DROP 
USER(7)							   SQL Commands 						      DROP USER(7)

NAME

       DROP USER - remove a database user account

SYNOPSIS

       DROP USER name

DESCRIPTION

       DROP  USER removes the specified user from the database.  It does not remove tables, views, or other objects owned by the user. If the user
       owns any database, an error is raised.

   PARAMETERS
       name   The name of an existing user.

DIAGNOSTICS

       DROP USER
	      The message returned if the user is successfully deleted.

       ERROR: DROP USER: user "name" does not exist
	      This message occurs if the user name is not found.

       DROP USER: user "name" owns database "name", cannot be removed
	      You must drop the database first or change its ownership.

NOTES

       Use CREATE USER [create_user(7)] to add new users, and ALTER USER [alter_user(7)] to change a user's  attributes.   PostgreSQL  includes  a
       program	dropuser  [dropuser(1)]  that  has the same functionality as this command (in fact, it calls this command) but can be run from the
       command shell.

EXAMPLES

       To drop a user account:

       DROP USER jonathan;

COMPATIBILITY

       The DROP USER statement is a PostgreSQL extension. The SQL standard leaves the definition of users to the implementation.
