DROP EXTENSION [ IF EXISTS ] <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em> [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]
</pre></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.111.5"><h2>Description</h2><p>
<code class="command">DROP EXTENSION</code> removes extensions from the database.
Dropping an extension causes its member objects, and other explicitly
dependent routines (see <a class="xref" href="sql-alterroutine.html" title="ALTER ROUTINE"><span class="refentrytitle">ALTER ROUTINE</span></a>,
the <code class="literal">DEPENDS ON EXTENSION <em class="replaceable"><code>extension_name</code></em>
</code> action), to be dropped as well.
</p><p>
You must own the extension to use <code class="command">DROP EXTENSION</code>.
</p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.111.6"><h2>Parameters</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">IF EXISTS</code></span></dt><dd><p>
Do not throw an error if the extension does not exist. A notice is issued
in this case.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em></span></dt><dd><p>
The name of an installed extension.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">CASCADE</code></span></dt><dd><p>
Automatically drop objects that depend on the extension,
and in turn all objects that depend on those objects
(see <a class="xref" href="ddl-depend.html" title="5.14. Dependency Tracking">Section 5.14</a>).
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">RESTRICT</code></span></dt><dd><p>
This option prevents the specified extensions from being dropped if
other objects, besides these extensions, their members, and their
explicitly dependent routines, depend on them. This is the default.
</p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.111.7"><h2>Examples</h2><p>
To remove the extension <code class="literal">hstore</code> from the current
database:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
DROP EXTENSION hstore;
</pre><p>
This command will fail if any of <code class="literal">hstore</code>'s objects
are in use in the database, for example if any tables have columns
of the <code class="type">hstore</code> type. Add the <code class="literal">CASCADE</code> option to
forcibly remove those dependent objects as well.
</p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.111.8"><h2>Compatibility</h2><p>
<code class="command">DROP EXTENSION</code> is a <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>
extension.
