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 from a table and row-level security is still enabled on the table via ALTER TABLE, the default-deny policy will be used. ALTER TABLE ... DISABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY can be used to disable row-level security on a table, regardless of whether policies exist on the table.

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 be dropped.

table_name

The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the table that the policy is on.

CASCADE

RESTRICT

These key words have no effect, since there are no dependencies on policies.

Examples

DROP POLICY p1 ON my_table;
