DROP STATISTICS(7)                 PostgreSQL 14.23 Documentation                 DROP STATISTICS(7)



NAME
       DROP_STATISTICS - remove extended statistics

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

DESCRIPTION
       DROP STATISTICS removes statistics object(s) from the database. Only the statistics object's
       owner, the schema owner, or a superuser can drop a statistics object.

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

       name
           The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the statistics object to drop.

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

EXAMPLES
       To destroy two statistics objects in different schemas, without failing if they don't exist:

           DROP STATISTICS IF EXISTS
               accounting.users_uid_creation,
               public.grants_user_role;

COMPATIBILITY
       There is no DROP STATISTICS command in the SQL standard.

SEE ALSO
       ALTER STATISTICS (ALTER_STATISTICS(7)), CREATE STATISTICS (CREATE_STATISTICS(7))
