drop trigger(7)
NAME
DROP TRIGGER - remove a trigger
SYNOPSIS
DROP TRIGGER name ON table [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]
DESCRIPTION
DROP TRIGGER will remove an existing trigger definition. To execute
this command, the current user must be the owner of the table for which
the trigger is defined.
PARAMETERS
name The name of the trigger to remove.
- table The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the table for which
- the trigger is defined.
- CASCADE
- Automatically drop objects that depend on the trigger.
- RESTRICT
- Refuse to drop the trigger if any objects depend on it. This is the default.
EXAMPLES
Destroy the trigger if_dist_exists on the table films:
DROP TRIGGER if_dist_exists ON films;
COMPATIBILITY
The DROP TRIGGER statement in PostgreSQL is incompatible with the SQL
standard. In the SQL standard, trigger names are not local to tables,
so the command is simply DROP TRIGGER name.
