DROP


NAME

  DROP GROUP - remove a user group


SYNOPSIS

  DROP GROUP name


DESCRIPTION

  DROP GROUP removes the specified group. The users in the group are not
  removed.


PARAMETERS

  name The name of an existing group.


NOTES

  It is unwise to drop a group that has any granted permissions on objects.
  Currently, this is not enforced, but it is likely that future versions of
  PostgreSQL will check for the error.


EXAMPLES

  To drop a group:

  DROP GROUP staff;


COMPATIBILITY

  There is no DROP GROUP statement in the SQL standard.


SEE ALSO

  ALTER GROUP [alter_group(5)], CREATE GROUP [create_group(l)]
