DROP DATABASE(7)                  PostgreSQL 14.17 Documentation                 DROP DATABASE(7)

NAME
       DROP_DATABASE - remove a database

SYNOPSIS
       DROP DATABASE [ IF EXISTS ] name [ [ WITH ] ( option [, ...] ) ]

       where option can be:

           FORCE

DESCRIPTION
       DROP DATABASE drops a database. It removes the catalog entries for the database and
       deletes the directory containing the data. It can only be executed by the database owner.
       It cannot be executed while you are connected to the target database. (Connect to postgres
       or any other database to issue this command.) Also, if anyone else is connected to the
       target database, this command will fail unless you use the FORCE option described below.

       DROP DATABASE cannot be undone. Use it with care!

PARAMETERS
       IF EXISTS
           Do not throw an error if the database does not exist. A notice is issued in this case.

       name
           The name of the database to remove.

       FORCE
           Attempt to terminate all existing connections to the target database. It doesn't
           terminate if prepared transactions, active logical replication slots or subscriptions
           are present in the target database.

           This terminates background worker connections and connections that the current user
           has permission to terminate with pg_terminate_backend, described in Section 9.27.2. If
           connections would remain, this command will fail.

NOTES
       DROP DATABASE cannot be executed inside a transaction block.

       This command cannot be executed while connected to the target database. Thus, it might be
       more convenient to use the program dropdb(1) instead, which is a wrapper around this
       command.

COMPATIBILITY
       There is no DROP DATABASE statement in the SQL standard.
