INDEX(7)							   SQL Commands 						     DROP INDEX(7)

NAME

       DROP INDEX - remove an index

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       DROP INDEX drops an existing index from the database system. To execute this command you must be the owner of the index.

PARAMETERS

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

       name   The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an index to remove.

       CASCADE
	      Automatically drop objects that depend on the index.

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

EXAMPLES

       This command will remove the index title_idx:

       DROP INDEX title_idx;

COMPATIBILITY

       DROP INDEX is a PostgreSQL language extension. There are no provisions for indexes in the SQL standard.

DROP 
SCHEMA(7)							   SQL Commands 						    DROP SCHEMA(7)

NAME

       DROP SCHEMA - remove a schema

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       DROP SCHEMA removes schemas from the database.

       A  schema can only be dropped by its owner or a superuser. Note that the owner can drop the schema (and thereby all contained objects) even
       if he does not own some of the objects within the schema.

PARAMETERS

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

       name   The name of a schema.

       CASCADE
	      Automatically drop objects (tables, functions, etc.) that are contained in the schema.

       RESTRICT
	      Refuse to drop the schema if it contains any objects. This is the default.

EXAMPLES

       To remove schema mystuff from the database, along with everything it contains:

       DROP SCHEMA mystuff CASCADE;

COMPATIBILITY

       DROP SCHEMA is fully conforming with the SQL standard, except that the standard only allows one schema to be dropped per command, and apart
       from the IF EXISTS option, which is a PostgreSQL extension.
