PostgreSQL – How to Drop A Schema
To drop a schema in PostgreSQL, you can use the DROP SCHEMA
statement. Here’s the basic syntax for dropping a schema:
DROP SCHEMA schema_name [ CASCADE ];
where schema_name
is the name of the schema you want to drop. The optional CASCADE
keyword is used to automatically drop all objects (tables, views, functions, etc.) within the schema before dropping the schema itself. Be very careful when using CASCADE
, as it will permanently remove all objects in the schema.
Be cautious when using CASCADE
as it will permanently remove all objects in the schema. Make sure you have a backup and that you are certain about dropping the schema before executing the command, especially in a production environment.
