Description

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 Dependency Tracking).
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.
