DROP SEQUENCE() 		 SQL Commands		       DROP SEQUENCE()



NAME
       DROP SEQUENCE - remove a sequence


SYNOPSIS
       DROP SEQUENCE [ IF EXISTS ] name [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]


DESCRIPTION
       DROP  SEQUENCE  removes sequence number generators. A sequence can only
       be dropped by its owner or a superuser.

PARAMETERS
       IF EXISTS
	      Do not throw an error if the sequence does not exist.  A	notice
	      is issued in this case.

       name   The name (optionally schema-qualified) of a sequence.

       CASCADE
	      Automatically drop objects that depend on the sequence.

       RESTRICT
	      Refuse to drop the sequence if any objects depend on it. This is
	      the default.

EXAMPLES
       To remove the sequence serial:

       DROP SEQUENCE serial;


COMPATIBILITY
       DROP SEQUENCE conforms to the SQL standard, except  that  the  standard
       only  allows one sequence to be dropped per command, and apart from the
       IF EXISTS option, which is a PostgreSQL extension.
