DROP TABLESPACE

Removes a tablespace.

Synopsis

DROP TABLESPACE [IF EXISTS] <tablespacename>

Description

DROP TABLESPACE removes a tablespace from the system.

A tablespace can only be dropped by its owner or a superuser. The tablespace must be empty of all database objects before it can be dropped. It is possible that objects in other databases may still reside in the tablespace even if no objects in the current database are using the tablespace.

Parameters

IF EXISTS

Do not throw an error if the tablespace does not exist. A notice is issued in this case.

DROP TABLESPACE mystuff;
