current
version, or one of the other supported versions listed above instead.
DROP GROUP
Name
DROP GROUP -- remove a user group
Description
DROP GROUP removes the specified
group. The users in the group are not removed.
Parameters
- name
-
The name of an existing group.
Notes
It is unwise to drop a group that has any granted permissions
on objects. Currently, this is not enforced, but it is likely
that future versions of PostgreSQL will check for the error.
Examples
To drop a group:
DROP GROUP staff;
Compatibility
There is no DROP GROUP statement in
the SQL standard.
