DROP TABLESPACE — remove a tablespace
DROP TABLESPACE [ IF EXISTS ] name
DROP TABLESPACE
removes a tablespace from the system.
A tablespace can only be dropped by its owner or a superuser.
The tablespace must be empty of all database objects before it can be
dropped. It is possible that objects in other databases might still reside
in the tablespace even if no objects in the current database are using
the tablespace. Also, if the tablespace is listed in the temp_tablespaces setting of any active session, the
DROP
might fail due to temporary files residing in the
tablespace.
IF EXISTS
Do not throw an error if the tablespace does not exist. A notice is issued in this case.
