NAME
DROP TABLESPACE - remove a tablespace
SYNOPSIS
DROP TABLESPACE [ IF EXISTS ] tablespacename
DESCRIPTION
DROP TABLESPACE removes a tablespace from the system.
A tablespace can only be dropped by its owner or a superuser. The
tablespace must be empty of all database objects before it can be
dropped. It is possible that objects in other databases might still
reside in the tablespace even if no objects in the current database are
using the tablespace. Also, if the tablespace is listed in the
temp_tablespaces setting of any active session, the DROP might fail due
to temporary files residing in the tablespace.
PARAMETERS
IF EXISTS
Do not throw an error if the tablespace does not exist. A notice
is issued in this case.
tablespacename
The name of a tablespace.
NOTES
DROP TABLESPACE cannot be executed inside a transaction block.
EXAMPLES
To remove tablespace mystuff from the system:
DROP TABLESPACE mystuff;
COMPATIBILITY
DROP TABLESPACE is a PostgreSQL extension.
