DROP SCHEMA()			 SQL Commands			DROP SCHEMA()



NAME
       DROP SCHEMA - remove a schema


SYNOPSIS
       DROP SCHEMA 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
       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.

SEE ALSO
       ALTER SCHEMA [alter_schema(7)], CREATE SCHEMA [create_schema(l)]
