## NAME
       DROP_TEXT_SEARCH_CONFIGURATION - remove a text search configuration

## SYNOPSIS
       DROP TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION [ IF EXISTS ] _name_ [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

## DESCRIPTION
       **DROP** **TEXT** **SEARCH** **CONFIGURATION** drops an existing text search configuration. To execute this
       command you must be the owner of the configuration.

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

       _name_
           The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing text search configuration.

       CASCADE
           Automatically drop objects that depend on the text search configuration, and in turn all
           objects that depend on those objects (see Section 5.14).

       RESTRICT
           Refuse to drop the text search configuration if any objects depend on it. This is the
           default.

## EXAMPLES
       Remove the text search configuration my_english:

           DROP TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION my_english;

       This command will not succeed if there are any existing indexes that reference the
       configuration in **to**___**tsvector** calls. Add CASCADE to drop such indexes along with the text
       search configuration.

## COMPATIBILITY
       There is no **DROP** **TEXT** **SEARCH** **CONFIGURATION** statement in the SQL standard.
