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.
