DROP FOREIGN TABLE(7)    PostgreSQL 15.7 Documentation   DROP FOREIGN TABLE(7)

NAME
       DROP_FOREIGN_TABLE - remove a foreign table

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

DESCRIPTION
       DROP FOREIGN TABLE removes a foreign table. Only the owner of a foreign
       table can remove it.

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

       name
           The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the foreign table to
           drop.

       CASCADE
           Automatically drop objects that depend on the foreign table (such
           as views), and in turn all objects that depend on those objects
           (see Section 5.14).

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

EXAMPLES
       To destroy two foreign tables, films and distributors:

           DROP FOREIGN TABLE films, distributors;

COMPATIBILITY
       This command conforms to ISO/IEC 9075-9 (SQL/MED), except that the
       standard only allows one foreign table to be dropped per command, and
       apart from the IF EXISTS option, which is a PostgreSQL extension.

SEE ALSO
       ALTER FOREIGN TABLE (ALTER_FOREIGN_TABLE(7)), CREATE FOREIGN TABLE
       (CREATE_FOREIGN_TABLE(7))
