DROP_SERVER(7pg17)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so this is literally the DROP_SERVER page, bestie — manual name DROP SERVER(7), from the PostgreSQL 17.11 Documentation. And the vibe? DROP_SERVER — remove a foreign server descriptor. That's the whole assignment. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

DROP SERVER [ IF EXISTS ] name [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so DROP SERVER removes an existing foreign server descriptor. To execute this command, the current user must be the owner of the server. Owner check is real — no cap. 👑

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

• IF EXISTS — do not throw an error if the server does not exist. A notice is issued in this case. So like, no dramatic crash, just a little notice. 🫶
• name — the name of an existing server. literally the server's name, bestie.
• CASCADE — automatically drop objects that depend on the server (such as user mappings), and in turn all objects that depend on those objects (see Section 5.15). it's giving chain reaction. 🔥
• RESTRICT — refuse to drop the server if any objects depend on it. This is the default. so if you don't pick, it's restrictive by default. periodt. 💅

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

Drop a server foo if it exists:

DROP SERVER IF EXISTS foo;

like the example says, bestie. clean, simple, iconic. ✨

⭐ COMPATIBILITY ⭐

DROP SERVER conforms to ISO/IEC 9075-9 (SQL/MED). The IF EXISTS clause is a PostgreSQL extension. so yes, standard with a little PostgreSQL extra sparkle. 🌈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• CREATE SERVER (CREATE_SERVER(7))
• ALTER SERVER (ALTER_SERVER(7))

that's the page, bestie 💖 Source/version + date vibes: PostgreSQL 17.11, 2026, and the footer says DROP SERVER(7). go off, queen 👑✨
