DROP SERVER

Removes a foreign server descriptor.

Synopsis

DROP SERVER [ IF EXISTS ] <servername> [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

Description

DROP SERVER removes an existing foreign server descriptor. The user running this command must be the owner of the server.

Parameters

• IF EXISTS: Do not throw an error if the server does not exist. Greenplum Database issues a notice in this case.

• servername: The name of an existing server.

• CASCADE: Automatically drop objects that depend on the server (such as user mappings).

• RESTRICT: Refuse to drop the server if any object depends on it. This is the default.

Examples

Drop the server named 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 Greenplum Database extension.
