See DROP DATABASE for more information on this option. names:[-f --force] signature:-f --force source_url:/docs/18/app-dropdb.html summary:Attempt to terminate all existing connections to the target database before dropping it. See DROP DATABASE for more information on this option.], map[description:Issues a verification prompt before doing anything destructive. names:[-i --interactive] signature:-i --interactive source_url:/docs/18/app-dropdb.html summary:Issues a verification prompt before doing anything destructive.], map[description:Print the dropdb version and exit. names:[-V --version] signature:-V --version source_url:/docs/18/app-dropdb.html summary:Print the dropdb version and exit.], map[description:Do not throw an error if the database does not exist. A notice is issued in this case. names:[--if-exists] signature:--if-exists source_url:/docs/18/app-dropdb.html summary:Do not throw an error if the database does not exist. A notice is issued in this case.], map[description:Show help about dropdb command line arguments, and exit. names:[-? --help] signature:-? --help source_url:/docs/18/app-dropdb.html summary:Show help about dropdb command line arguments, and exit.], map[description:Specifies the host name of the machine on which the server is running. If the value begins with a slash, it is used as the directory for the Unix domain socket. names:[-h host --host= host] signature:-h host --host= host source_url:/docs/18/app-dropdb.html summary:Specifies the host name of the machine on which the server is running. If the value begins with a slash, it is used as the directory for the Unix domain socket.], map[description:Specifies the TCP port or local Unix domain socket file extension on which the server is listening for connections. names:[-p port --port= port] signature:-p port --port= port source_url:/docs/18/app-dropdb.html summary:Specifies the TCP port or local Unix domain socket file extension on which the server is listening for connections.], map[description:User name to connect as. names:[-U username --username= username] signature:-U username --username= username source_url:/docs/18/app-dropdb.html summary:User name to connect as.], map[description:Never issue a password prompt. If the server requires password authentication and a password is not available by other means such as a .pgpass file, the connection attempt will fail. This option can be useful in batch jobs and scripts where no user is present to enter a password. names:[-w --no-password] signature:-w --no-password source_url:/docs/18/app-dropdb.html summary:Never issue a password prompt. If the server requires password authentication and a password is not available by other means such as a .pgpass file, the connection attempt will fail. This option can be useful in batch jobs and scripts where no user is present to enter a password.], map[description:Force dropdb to prompt for a password before connecting to a database. This option is never essential, since dropdb will automatically prompt for a password if the server demands password authentication. However, dropdb will waste a connection attempt finding out that the server wants a password. In some cases it is worth typing -W to avoid the extra connection attempt. names:[-W --password] signature:-W --password source_url:/docs/18/app-dropdb.html summary:Force dropdb to prompt for a password before connecting to a database.], map[description:Specifies the name of the database to connect to in order to drop the target database. If not specified, the postgres database will be used; if that does not exist (or is the database being dropped), template1 will be used. This can be a connection string . If so, connection string parameters will override any conflicting command line options. names:[--maintenance-db= dbname] signature:--maintenance-db= dbname source_url:/docs/18/app-dropdb.html summary:Specifies the name of the database to connect to in order to drop the target database. If not specified, the postgres database will be used; if that does not exist (or is the database being dropped), template1 will be used. This can be a connection string .
