+   <code class="command">DROP TABLE</code> removes tables from the database.
+   Only the table owner, the schema owner, and superuser can drop a
+   table.  To empty a table of rows
+   without destroying the table, use <a class="xref" href="sql-delete.html" title="DELETE"><span class="refentrytitle">DELETE</span></a>
+   or <a class="xref" href="sql-truncate.html" title="TRUNCATE"><span class="refentrytitle">TRUNCATE</span></a>.
+  </p><p>
+   <code class="command">DROP TABLE</code> always removes any indexes, rules,
+   triggers, and constraints that exist for the target table.
+   However, to drop a table that is referenced by a view or a foreign-key
+   constraint of another table, <code class="literal">CASCADE</code> must be
+   specified. (<code class="literal">CASCADE</code> will remove a dependent view entirely,
+   but in the foreign-key case it will only remove the foreign-key
+   constraint, not the other table entirely.)
+  </p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.134.6"><h2>Parameters</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">IF EXISTS</code></span></dt><dd><p>
