DROP TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION

Removes a text search configuration.

Synopsis

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

Description

DROP TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION drops an existing text search configuration. You must be the owner of the configuration to run this command.

Parameters

  • IF EXISTS
    • Do not throw an error if the text search configuration does not exist. Database issues a notice in this case.
  • name
    • The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing text search configuration.
  • CASCADE
    • Automatically drop objects that depend on the text search configuration, and in turn all objects that depend on those objects.
  • RESTRICT
    • Refuse to drop the text search configuration if any objects depend on it. This is the default.

Examples

Remove the text search configuration my_english:

DROP TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION my_english;

This command will not succeed if there are any existing indexes that reference the configuration in to_tsvector calls. Add CASCADE to drop such indexes along with the text search configuration.

Compatibility

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