PostgreSQL – How to Drop A Table

ByAdmin

To drop (delete) a table in PostgreSQL, you can use the DROP TABLE statement. Here’s the basic syntax:

DROP TABLE table_name;

where table_name is the name of the table you want to drop. Here’s an example of how to use this syntax to drop a table named my_table:

DROP TABLE my_table;

Be very cautious when using the DROP TABLE statement, as it permanently deletes the table and all of its data. Make sure you have a backup or that you are certain you no longer need the table and its contents before executing this command. Also, you need appropriate permissions to drop tables in PostgreSQL.
