DROP_GROUP(7)

💅 DROP_GROUP — bestie's guide to yeeting a role 💅

okay so real talk, this is the DROP_GROUP(7) page from the PostgreSQL 18.6 Documentation, and it is short. like, blink-and-you-miss-it short. but we're still gonna do it properly bc that's the vibe 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

DROP_GROUP — remove a database role 🌸

like... it deletes a role. gone. poof. bye girl 👋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

DROP GROUP [ IF EXISTS ] name [, ...]

so you got your DROP GROUP, then optionally IF EXISTS (for the cautious girlies who don't wanna get yelled at when the thing isn't there 🙈), then name, and you can comma-separate a whole list of names bc why do one when you can do many, periodt 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay this is the tea and it's a lil anticlimactic ngl:

DROP GROUP is now an alias for DROP ROLE ✨

that's it. that's the whole description. iconic in its brevity fr fr. so if you were expecting a whole deep lore drop about group-specific behaviour... no ma'am. it's just DROP ROLE wearing a lil costume 🎀

---

✨ COMPATIBILITY ✨

vibe check with the SQL standard: there is no DROP GROUP statement in the SQL standard 💀

so yeah, this is a Postgres thing, not a standard thing. iykyk 👑

---

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

• DROP ROLE (DROP_ROLE(7)) — the main character this whole page is lowkey cosplaying as 👑

---

and that's the whole page bestie, no cap. short, sweet, and honestly kind of slaying with how little it says.
