NAME

       DROP_MATERIALIZED_VIEW - remove a materialized view

SYNOPSIS

       DROP MATERIALIZED VIEW [ IF EXISTS ] name [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION

       DROP MATERIALIZED VIEW drops an existing materialized view. To execute this command you
       must be the owner of the materialized view.

PARAMETERS

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

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

       CASCADE
           Automatically drop objects that depend on the materialized view (such as other
           materialized views, or regular views), and in turn all objects that depend on those
           objects (see Section 5.14).

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

EXAMPLES

       This command will remove the materialized view called order_summary:

           DROP MATERIALIZED VIEW order_summary;

COMPATIBILITY

       DROP MATERIALIZED VIEW is a PostgreSQL extension.
