<code class="command">DROP VIEW</code> drops an existing view. To execute

</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">CASCADE</code></span></dt><dd><p>
Automatically drop objects that depend on the view (such as
other views),
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>
Refuse to drop the view if any objects depend on it. This is
the default.

This command will remove the view called <code class="literal">kinds</code>:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
DROP VIEW kinds;
</pre></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.145.8"><h2>Compatibility</h2><p>
This command conforms to the SQL standard, except that the standard only
allows one view to be dropped per command, and apart from the
<code class="literal">IF EXISTS</code> option, which is a <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>
extension.
