Function

DROP SERVER drops a data server.

Precautions

Only the server owner or a user granted with the DROP permission can run the DROP SERVER command. The system administrator has this permission by default.

Syntax

DROP SERVER [ IF EXISTS ] server_name [ {CASCADE | RESTRICT} ] ;

Parameter Description

  • IF EXISTS

    Reports a notice instead of an error if the specified data server does not exist.

  • server_name

    Specifies the name of the data server to be dropped.

  • CASCADE | RESTRICT

    • CASCADE: automatically drops the objects that depend on the data server.

    • RESTRICT: refuses to drop the server if any objects depend on it. This is the default action.
