DROP DOMAIN

remove a domain

Synopsis

DROP DOMAIN [ IF EXISTS ] NAME [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

Description

DROP DOMAIN removes a domain. Only the owner of a domain can remove it.

Parameters

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

name : The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing domain.

CASCADE : Automatically drop objects that depend on the domain (such as table columns), and in turn all objects that depend on those objects (see Dependency Tracking).

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

Examples

To remove the domain box:

DROP DOMAIN box;

Compatibility

This command conforms to the SQL standard, except for the IF EXISTS option, which is a PostgreSQL extension.
