NAME

       DROP_ACCESS_METHOD - remove an access method

SYNOPSIS

       DROP ACCESS METHOD [ IF EXISTS ] name [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION

       DROP ACCESS METHOD removes an existing access method. Only superusers can drop access
       methods.

PARAMETERS

       IF EXISTS
           Do not throw an error if the access method does not exist. A notice is issued in this
           case.

       name
           The name of an existing access method.

       CASCADE
           Automatically drop objects that depend on the access method (such as operator classes,
           operator families, and indexes), and in turn all objects that depend on those objects
           (see Section 5.13).

       RESTRICT
           Refuse to drop the access method if any objects depend on it. This is the default.

EXAMPLES

       Drop the access method heptree:

           DROP ACCESS METHOD heptree;

COMPATIBILITY
