DROP POLICY(7)           PostgreSQL 16.2 Documentation          DROP POLICY(7)

NAME
       DROP_POLICY - remove a row-level security policy from a table

SYNOPSIS
       DROP POLICY [ IF EXISTS ] name ON table_name [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION
       DROP POLICY removes the specified policy from the table. Note that if
       the last policy is removed for a table and the table still has
       row-level security enabled via ALTER TABLE, then the default-deny
       policy will be used.  ALTER TABLE ... DISABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY can be
       used to disable row-level security for a table, whether policies for
       the table exist or not.

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

       name
           The name of the policy to drop.

       table_name
           The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the table that the policy
           is on.

       CASCADE
       RESTRICT
           These key words do not have any effect, since there are no
           dependencies on policies.

EXAMPLES
       To drop the policy called p1 on the table named my_table:

           DROP POLICY p1 ON my_table;

COMPATIBILITY
       DROP POLICY is a PostgreSQL extension.
