DROP TEXT SEARCH PARSER

Removes a text search parser.

Synopsis ​

DROP TEXT SEARCH PARSER [ IF EXISTS ] <name> [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

Description ​

DROP TEXT SEARCH PARSER drops an existing text search parser. You must be a superuser to use this command.

Parameters ​

IF EXISTS ​

Do not throw an error if the text search parser does not exist. WarehousePG issues a notice in this case.

name ​

The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing text search parser.

CASCADE ​

Automatically drop objects that depend on the text search parser, and in turn all objects that depend on those objects.

RESTRICT ​

Refuse to drop the text search parser if any objects depend on it. This is the default.

Examples ​

Remove the text search parser my_parser:

DROP TEXT SEARCH PARSER my_parser;

This command will not succeed if there are any existing text search configurations that use the parser. Add CASCADE to drop such configurations along with the parser.

Compatibility ​

There is no DROP TEXT SEARCH PARSER statement in the SQL standard.
