NAME
       DROP_MATERIALIZED_VIEW - remove a materialized view

SYNOPSIS
       DROP MATERIALIZED VIEW [ IF EXISTS ] name [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION
       DROP MATERIALIZED VIEW drops an existing materialized view. To execute
       this command you must be the owner of the materialized view.

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

       name
           The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the materialized view to
           remove.

       CASCADE
           Automatically drop objects that depend on the materialized view
           (such as other materialized views, or regular views), and in turn
           all objects that depend on those objects (see Section 5.14).

       RESTRICT
           Refuse to drop the materialized view if any objects depend on it.
           This is the default.

EXAMPLES
       This command will remove the materialized view called order_summary:

           DROP MATERIALIZED VIEW order_summary;
