DROP POLICY

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. [.term]#CASCADE
[.term]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.
