DROP_GROUP(7pg17)
π DROP_GROUP π
okay bestie, welcome to the DROP GROUP page from the PostgreSQL 17.11 docs (that's the pg17 manual, iykyk) β it's short, it's sweet, and honestly? it's giving "I'm an alias and I'm at peace with that." β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
DROP_GROUP β remove a database role π«Ά
π SYNOPSIS π
DROP GROUP [ IF EXISTS ] name [, ...]
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so here's the tea: DROP GROUP is now an alias for DROP ROLE. that's it. that's the whole vibe. not me getting emotional over a backward-compatibility alias π she's literally just standing there being DROP ROLE in a different outfit π
π¦ COMPATIBILITY π¦
ngl, the SQL standard does not have a DROP GROUP statement. not a single one. the standard said "no ma'am" π so if you're out here looking for it in the spec, bestie, it's not there β periodt.
π SEE ALSO π
DROP ROLE(DROP_ROLE(7)) π β the main character she's aliasing for
π¨ friendly reminder: IF EXISTS is right there in the synopsis, so if you're not sure the role exists, use it and save yourself the emotional damage π
and that's the page!! short and iconic, just like her π mwah π β this was DROP GROUP(7), taken from the PostgreSQL 17.11 documentation, dated 2026. slay, go drop some roles responsibly π§ββοΈβ
