.TH "DROP TABLE" SQL 09/26/97 PostgreSQL |
||||||
|
.SH NAME |
||||||
|
drop table \(em destroy existing classes |
||||||
|
.SH SYNOPSIS |
||||||
|
.nf |
||||||
|
\fBdrop table\fR classname-1 { \fB,\fR classname-i } |
||||||
|
.fi |
||||||
|
.SH DESCRIPTION |
||||||
|
.BR "Drop Table" |
||||||
|
removes classes from the data base. Only its owner may destroy a |
||||||
|
class. A class may be emptied of instances, but not destroyed, by |
||||||
|
using |
||||||
|
.IR delete (l). |
||||||
|
.PP |
||||||
|
If a class being destroyed has secondary indices on it, then they will |
||||||
|
be removed first. The removal of just a secondary index will not |
||||||
|
affect the indexed class. |
||||||
|
.PP |
||||||
|
The destruction of classes is not reversible. Thus, a destroyed class |
||||||
|
will not be recovered if a transaction which destroys this class fails |
||||||
|
to commit. In addition, historical access to instances in a destroyed |
||||||
|
class is not possible. |
||||||
