Syntax

1

DROP DATA SOURCE [IF EXISTS] src_name [CASCADE | RESTRICT];

Parameter Description

• src_name

  Specifies the name of the data source to be deleted.

  Value range: a string. It must comply with the naming convention.

• IF EXISTS

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

• CASCADE | RESTRICT
  • CASCADE: automatically deletes the objects that depend on the data source.
  • RESTRICT: refuses to delete the data source if any objects depend on it. This is the default action.

    Currently, no objects depend on data sources. Therefore, CASCADE is equivalent to RESTRICT, and they are reserved to ensure backward compatibility.
