DROP VIEW
Removes a view.
Synopsis
DROP VIEW [IF EXISTS] <name> [, ...] [CASCADE | RESTRICT]
Description
DROP VIEW will remove an existing view. Only the owner of a view can remove it.
Parameters
IF EXISTS : Do not throw an error if the view does not 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).
RESTRICT : Refuse to drop the view if any objects depend on it. This is the default.
Examples
Remove the view topten:
DROP VIEW topten;
Compatibility
DROP VIEW is fully conforming with the SQL standard, except that the standard only allows one view to be dropped per command. Also, the IF EXISTS option is a LightDB-A Database extension.
