DROP POLICY(7)                    PostgreSQL 12.3 Documentation                    DROP POLICY(7)



NAME
       DROP_POLICY - remove a row level security policy from a table

SYNOPSIS
       DROP POLICY [ IF EXISTS ] name ON table_name [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION
       DROP POLICY removes the specified policy from the table. Note that if the last policy is
       removed for a table and the table still has row level security enabled via ALTER TABLE,
       then the default-deny policy will be used.  ALTER TABLE ... DISABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY can
       be used to disable row level security for a table, whether policies for the table exist or
       not.

PARAMETERS
       IF EXISTS
           Do not throw an error if the policy does not exist. A notice is issued in this case.

       name
           The name of the policy to drop.

       table_name
           The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the table that the policy is on.

       CASCADE
       RESTRICT
           These key words do not have any effect, since there are no dependencies on policies.

EXAMPLES
       To drop the policy called p1 on the table named my_table:

           DROP POLICY p1 ON my_table;

COMPATIBILITY
       DROP POLICY is a PostgreSQL extension.
