+.SH "NAME"
+DROP_DATABASE \- remove a database
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+.nf
+DROP DATABASE [ IF EXISTS ] \fIname\fR [ [ WITH ] ( \fIoption\fR [, \&.\&.\&.] ) ]
+
+where \fIoption\fR can be:
+
+ FORCE
+.fi
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBDROP DATABASE\fR
+drops a database\&. It removes the catalog entries for the database and deletes the directory containing the data\&. It can only be executed by the database owner\&. It cannot be executed while you are connected to the target database\&. (Connect to
+postgres
+or any other database to issue this command\&.) Also, if anyone else is connected to the target database, this command will fail unless you use the
+FORCE
+option described below\&.
+.PP
+\fBDROP DATABASE\fR
+cannot be undone\&. Use it with care!
+.SH "PARAMETERS"
+.PP
+IF EXISTS
+.RS 4
+Do not throw an error if the database does not exist\&. A notice is issued in this case\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fIname\fR
+.RS 4
+The name of the database to remove\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+FORCE
+.RS 4
+Attempt to terminate all existing connections to the target database\&. It doesn\*(Aqt terminate if prepared transactions, active logical replication slots or subscriptions are present in the target database\&.
+.sp
+This will fail if the current user has no permissions to terminate other connections\&. Required permissions are the same as with
+pg_terminate_backend, described in
+Section\ \&9.27.2\&. This will also fail if we are not able to terminate connections\&.
+.RE
+.SH "NOTES"
+.PP
+\fBDROP DATABASE\fR
+cannot be executed inside a transaction block\&.
+.PP
+This command cannot be executed while connected to the target database\&. Thus, it might be more convenient to use the program
+\fBdropdb\fR(1)
+instead, which is a wrapper around this command\&.
+.SH "COMPATIBILITY"
+.PP
+There is no
+\fBDROP DATABASE\fR
+statement in the SQL standard\&.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+CREATE DATABASE (\fBCREATE_DATABASE\fR(7))
