DROP SERVER

Description

Parameters

• 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: cascadingly deletes the objects that depend on the data server.

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