DROP VIEW(7) PostgreSQL 9.6.6 Documentation DROP VIEW(7)
NAME
DROP_VIEW - remove a view
SYNOPSIS
DROP VIEW [ IF EXISTS ] name [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]
DESCRIPTION
DROP VIEW drops an existing view. To execute this command you must be
the owner of the view.
PARAMETERS
IF EXISTS
Do not throw an error if the view does not exist. A notice is
issued in this case.
name
The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the view to remove.
CASCADE
Automatically drop objects that depend on the view (such as other
views), and in turn all objects that depend on those objects (see
Section 5.13, "Dependency Tracking", in the documentation).
RESTRICT
Refuse to drop the view if any objects depend on it. This is the
default.
EXAMPLES
This command will remove the view called kinds:
DROP VIEW kinds;
COMPATIBILITY
This command conforms to the SQL standard, except that the standard
only allows one view to be dropped per command, and apart from the IF
EXISTS option, which is a PostgreSQL extension.
