Description
DROP SCHEMA removes schemas from the data base.
A schema can only be dropped by its owner or a superuser. Note that
the owner can drop the schema (and thereby all contained objects)
even if he does not own some of the objects within the schema.
Notes
Refer to the CREATE SCHEMA statement for
information on how to create a schema.
Usage
To remove schema mystuff from the database,
along with everything it contains:
DROP SCHEMA mystuff CASCADE;
Compatibility
SQL92
DROP SCHEMA is fully compatible with
SQL92, except that the standard only allows
one schema to be dropped per command.
