DROP VIEW v15
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 isn't deleted if other objects depend on this view, such as a view of a view.
The form of the DROP VIEW command compatible with Oracle doesn't support a CASCADE clause. To drop a view and its dependencies, use the PostgreSQL-compatible form of the DROP VIEW command. For more information, see the PostgreSQL core documentation.
Parameters
name
The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the view to remove.
Examples
This example removes the view named dept_30:
DROP VIEW dept_30;
