DROP POLICY

remove a row-level security policy from a table

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 for a table and the table still has row-level security enabled via ALTER TABLE, then the default-deny policy will be used. ALTER TABLE ... DISABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY can be used to disable row-level security for a table, whether policies for the table exist or not.

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 drop.

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

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

Examples#

To drop the policy called p1 on the table named my_table:

DROP POLICY p1 ON my_table;

Compatibility#

DROP POLICY is a PostgreSQL extension.
