DROP EXTENSION(7)        PostgreSQL 15.7 Documentation       DROP EXTENSION(7)

NAME
       DROP_EXTENSION - remove an extension

SYNOPSIS
       DROP EXTENSION [ IF EXISTS ] name [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION
       DROP EXTENSION removes extensions from the database. Dropping an
       extension causes its member objects, and other explicitly dependent
       routines (see ALTER ROUTINE (ALTER_ROUTINE(7)), the DEPENDS ON
       EXTENSION extension_name action), to be dropped as well.

       You must own the extension to use DROP EXTENSION.

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

       name
           The name of an installed extension.

       CASCADE
           Automatically drop objects that depend on the extension, and in
           turn all objects that depend on those objects (see Section 5.14).

       RESTRICT
           This option prevents the specified extensions from being dropped if
           other objects, besides these extensions, their members, and their
           explicitly dependent routines, depend on them.  This is the
           default.

EXAMPLES
       To remove the extension hstore from the current database:

           DROP EXTENSION hstore;

       This command will fail if any of hstore's objects are in use in the
       database, for example if any tables have columns of the hstore type.
       Add the CASCADE option to forcibly remove those dependent objects as
       well.

COMPATIBILITY
       DROP EXTENSION is a PostgreSQL extension.
