DROP TABLE removes tables from the database. Only its owner may destroy a table. To empty a table of rows, without destroying the table, use DELETE.
DROP TABLE always removes any indexes, rules, triggers, and constraints that exist for the target table. However, to drop a table that is referenced by a foreign-key constraint of another table, CASCADE must be specified. (CASCADE will remove the foreign-key constraint, not the other table entirely.)
The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the table to drop.
Automatically drop objects that depend on the table (such as views).
Refuse to drop the table if any objects depend on it. This is the default.
