DROP GROUP

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.
