DROP SERVER v6.27.4

Removes a foreign server descriptor.

Synopsis

DROP SERVER [ IF EXISTS ] <servername> [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

Description

DROP SERVER removes an existing foreign server descriptor. The user running this command must be the owner of the server.

Parameters

  • IF EXISTS

    Do not throw an error if the server does not exist. WarehousePG issues a notice in this case.

  • servername

    The name of an existing server.

  • CASCADE

    Automatically drop objects that depend on the server (such as user mappings).

  • RESTRICT

    Refuse to drop the server if any object depends on it. This is the default.

Examples

Drop the server named foo if it exists:

DROP SERVER IF EXISTS foo;

Compatibility

DROP SERVER conforms to ISO/IEC 9075-9 (SQL/MED). The IF EXISTS clause is a WarehousePG extension.
