+DROP ROLE [ IF EXISTS ] <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em> [, ...]
+</pre></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.126.5"><h2>Description</h2><p>
+   <code class="command">DROP ROLE</code> removes the specified role(s).
+   To drop a superuser role, you must be a superuser yourself;
+   to drop non-superuser roles, you must have <code class="literal">CREATEROLE</code>
+   privilege.
+  </p><p>
+   A role cannot be removed if it is still referenced in any database
+   of the cluster; an error will be raised if so.  Before dropping the role,
+   you must drop all the objects it owns (or reassign their ownership)
+   and revoke any privileges the role has been granted on other objects.
+   The <a class="link" href="sql-reassign-owned.html" title="REASSIGN OWNED"><code class="command">REASSIGN
+   OWNED</code></a> and <a class="link" href="sql-drop-owned.html" title="DROP OWNED"><code class="command">DROP
+   OWNED</code></a>
+   commands can be useful for this purpose; see <a class="xref" href="role-removal.html" title="22.4. Dropping Roles">Section 22.4</a>
+   for more discussion.
+  </p><p>
+   However, it is not necessary to remove role memberships involving
+   the role; <code class="command">DROP ROLE</code> automatically revokes any memberships
+   of the target role in other roles, and of other roles in the target role.
+   The other roles are not dropped nor otherwise affected.

+   <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> includes a program <a class="xref" href="app-dropuser.html" title="dropuser"><span class="refentrytitle"><span class="application">dropuser</span></span></a> that has the
+   same functionality as this command (in fact, it calls this command)
+   but can be run from the command shell.
+  </p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.126.8"><h2>Examples</h2><p>
+   To drop a role:
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+DROP ROLE jonathan;
+</pre></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.126.9"><h2>Compatibility</h2><p>
+   The SQL standard defines <code class="command">DROP ROLE</code>, but it allows
+   only one role to be dropped at a time, and it specifies different
+   privilege requirements than <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> uses.
