DROP VIEW
Removes a view.
Synopsis
DROP VIEW [IF EXISTS] <name> [, ...] [CASCADE | RESTRICT]
Description
DROP VIEW removes an existing view. Only the owner of a view can remove it.
Parameters
IF EXISTS
Do not throw an error if the view does not exist. Cloudberry Database issues a notice in this case.
name
The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the view to remove.
CASCADE
Automatically drop objects that depend on the view (such as other views), and in turn all objects that depend on those objects.
RESTRICT
Refuse to drop the view if any objects depend on it. This is the default.
Examples
Remove the view topten:
DROP VIEW topten;
Compatibility
DROP VIEW fully conforms to the SQL standard, except that the standard only allows one view to be dropped per command. Also, the IF EXISTS option is a Cloudberry Database extension.
