Name

DROP VIEW -- remove a view.

Synopsis

DROP VIEW <name>

Description

DROP VIEW drops an existing view. To execute this command you must be a database superuser or the owner of the view. The named view will not be deleted if other objects are dependent upon this view (such as a view of a view).

The form of the DROP VIEW command compatible with Oracle does not support a CASCADE clause; to drop a view and it's dependencies, use the PostgreSQL-compatible form of the DROP VIEW command. For more information, see the PostgreSQL core documentation at:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/static/sql-dropview.html

Parameters

name

The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the view to remove.

Examples

This command will remove the view named dept_30:

DROP VIEW dept_30;
