DROP PROCEDURE(7) PostgreSQL 12.3 Documentation DROP PROCEDURE(7)
NAME
DROP_PROCEDURE - remove a procedure
SYNOPSIS
DROP PROCEDURE [ IF EXISTS ] name [ ( [ [ argmode ] [ argname ] argtype [, ...] ] ) ] [, ...]
[ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]
DESCRIPTION
DROP PROCEDURE removes the definition of an existing procedure. To execute this command
the user must be the owner of the procedure. The argument types to the procedure must be
specified, since several different procedures can exist with the same name and different
argument lists.
PARAMETERS
IF EXISTS
Do not throw an error if the procedure does not exist. A notice is issued in this
case.
name
The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing procedure. If no argument list
is specified, the name must be unique in its schema.
argmode
The mode of an argument: IN or VARIADIC. If omitted, the default is IN.
argname
The name of an argument. Note that DROP PROCEDURE does not actually pay any attention
to argument names, since only the argument data types are needed to determine the
procedure's identity.
argtype
The data type(s) of the procedure's arguments (optionally schema-qualified), if any.
CASCADE
Automatically drop objects that depend on the procedure, and in turn all objects that
depend on those objects (see Section 5.14).
RESTRICT
Refuse to drop the procedure if any objects depend on it. This is the default.
EXAMPLES
DROP PROCEDURE do_db_maintenance();
COMPATIBILITY
This command conforms to the SQL standard, with these PostgreSQL extensions:
· The standard only allows one procedure to be dropped per command.
· The IF EXISTS option
· The ability to specify argument modes and names
