Removes a schema.
DROP SCHEMA [IF EXISTS] <name> [, ...] [CASCADE | RESTRICT]
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 they do not own some of the objects within the schema.
Remove the schema mystuff
from the database, along with everything it contains:
DROP SCHEMA mystuff CASCADE;
DROP SCHEMA
is fully conforming with the SQL standard, except that the standard only allows one schema to be dropped per command. Also, the IF EXISTS
option is a Greenplum Database extension.
