+.SH "NAME"
+DROP_SCHEMA \- remove a schema
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+.nf
+DROP SCHEMA [ IF EXISTS ] \fIname\fR [, \&.\&.\&.] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]
+.fi
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBDROP SCHEMA\fR
+removes schemas from the database\&.
+.PP
+A schema can only be dropped by its owner or a superuser\&. Note that the owner can drop the schema (and thereby all contained objects) even if they do not own some of the objects within the schema\&.
+.SH "PARAMETERS"
+.PP
+IF EXISTS
+.RS 4
+Do not throw an error if the schema does not exist\&. A notice is issued in this case\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fIname\fR
+.RS 4
+The name of a schema\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+CASCADE
+.RS 4
+Automatically drop objects (tables, functions, etc\&.) that are contained in the schema, and in turn all objects that depend on those objects (see
+Section\ \&5.14)\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+RESTRICT
+.RS 4
+Refuse to drop the schema if it contains any objects\&. This is the default\&.
+.RE
+.SH "NOTES"
+.PP
+Using the
+CASCADE
+option might make the command remove objects in other schemas besides the one(s) named\&.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.PP
+To remove schema
+mystuff
+from the database, along with everything it contains:
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+DROP SCHEMA mystuff CASCADE;
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.SH "COMPATIBILITY"
+.PP
+\fBDROP SCHEMA\fR
+is fully conforming with the SQL standard, except that the standard only allows one schema to be dropped per command, and apart from the
+IF EXISTS
+option, which is a
+PostgreSQL
+extension\&.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+ALTER SCHEMA (\fBALTER_SCHEMA\fR(7)), CREATE SCHEMA (\fBCREATE_SCHEMA\fR(7))
