10
12 DROP SUBSCRIPTION removes a subscription from the database cluster.
13
14 A subscription can only be dropped by a superuser.
15
16 DROP SUBSCRIPTION cannot be executed inside a transaction block if the
17 subscription is associated with a replication slot. (You can use ALTER
18 SUBSCRIPTION to unset the slot.)
19
21 name
22 The name of a subscription to be dropped.
23
24 CASCADE
25 RESTRICT
26 These key words do not have any effect, since there are no
27 dependencies on subscriptions.

30 When dropping a subscription that is associated with a replication slot
31 on the remote host (the normal state), DROP SUBSCRIPTION will connect
32 to the remote host and try to drop the replication slot as part of its
33 operation. This is necessary so that the resources allocated for the
34 subscription on the remote host are released. If this fails, either
35 because the remote host is not reachable or because the remote
36 replication slot cannot be dropped or does not exist or never existed,
37 the DROP SUBSCRIPTION command will fail. To proceed in this situation,
38 disassociate the subscription from the replication slot by executing
39 ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... SET (slot_name = NONE). After that, DROP
40 SUBSCRIPTION will no longer attempt any actions on a remote host. Note
41 that if the remote replication slot still exists, it should then be
42 dropped manually; otherwise it will continue to reserve WAL and might
43 eventually cause the disk to fill up. See also Section 30.2.1.

45 If a subscription is associated with a replication slot, then DROP
46 SUBSCRIPTION cannot be executed inside a transaction block.
