NAME

       DROP_SERVER - remove a foreign server descriptor

SYNOPSIS

       DROP SERVER [ IF EXISTS ] name [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION

       DROP SERVER removes an existing foreign server descriptor. To execute this command, the
       current user must be the owner of the server.

PARAMETERS

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

       name
           The name of an existing server.

       CASCADE
           Automatically drop objects that depend on the server (such as user mappings), and in
           turn all objects that depend on those objects (see Section 5.14).

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

EXAMPLES

       Drop a server 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 PostgreSQL
       extension.
