11

DESCRIPTION

14       DROP  TRIGGER  will  remove  an existing trigger definition. To execute
15       this command, the current user must be the owner of the table for which
16       the trigger is defined.
17

PARAMETERS

19       IF EXISTS
20              Do not throw an error if the trigger does not exist. A notice is
21              issued in this case.
22
23       name   The name of the trigger to remove.
24
25       table  The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the  table  for  which
26              the trigger is defined.
27
28       CASCADE
29              Automatically drop objects that depend on the trigger.
30
31       RESTRICT
32              Refuse  to drop the trigger if any objects depend on it. This is
33              the default.

EXAMPLES

36       Destroy the trigger if_dist_exists on the table films:
37
38       DROP TRIGGER if_dist_exists ON films;

COMPATIBILITY

42       The DROP TRIGGER statement in PostgreSQL is incompatible with  the  SQL
43       standard.  In  the SQL standard, trigger names are not local to tables,
44       so the command is simply DROP TRIGGER name.
