DROP_FOREIGN_TABLE - remove a foreign table

Compatibility

       This command conforms to ISO/IEC 9075-9 (SQL/MED), except that the standard only allows one foreign table
       to be dropped per command, and apart from the IF EXISTS option, which is a PostgreSQL extension.

Description

DROPFOREIGNTABLE removes a foreign table. Only the owner of a foreign table can remove it.

Examples

       To destroy two foreign tables, films and distributors:

           DROP FOREIGN TABLE films, distributors;

Name

       DROP_FOREIGN_TABLE - remove a foreign table

Parameters

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

       name
           The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the foreign table to drop.

       CASCADE
           Automatically drop objects that depend on the foreign table (such as views), and in turn all objects
           that depend on those objects (see Section 5.15).

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