NAME

DROP_TRIGGER - remove a trigger

SYNOPSIS

DROP TRIGGER [ IF EXISTS ] name ON table_name [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION

DROP TRIGGER removes an existing trigger definition. To execute this command, the current user must be the owner of the table for which the trigger is defined.

PARAMETERS

IF EXISTS

name

table_name

CASCADE

RESTRICT

EXAMPLES

Destroy the trigger if_dist_exists on the table films:

DROP TRIGGER if_dist_exists ON films;

COMPATIBILITY

The DROP TRIGGER statement in PostgreSQL is incompatible with the SQL standard. In the SQL standard, trigger names are not local to tables, so the command is simply DROP TRIGGER name.
