DROP VIEW
The DROP VIEW statement removes an existing view. Aurora DSQL supports the full PostgreSQL syntax for this command.
Supported syntax
DROP VIEW [ IF EXISTS ] name [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]
Description
DROP VIEW drops an existing view. To execute this command you must be the owner of the view.
Parameters
IF EXISTS-
Don't throw an error if the view doesn't exist. A notice is issued in this case.
name-
The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the view to remove.
CASCADE-
Automatically drop objects that depend on the view (such as other views), and in turn all objects that depend on those objects.
RESTRICT-
Refuse to drop the view if any objects depend on it. This is the default.
Examples
DROP VIEW kinds;
Compatibility
This command conforms to the SQL standard, except that the standard only allows one view to be dropped per command, and apart from the IF EXISTS option, which is a PostgreSQL extension that Aurora DSQL supports.
