<title>Description</title>
<para>
<command>DROP EXTENSION</command> removes extensions from the database.
Dropping an extension causes its member objects, and other explicitly
dependent routines (see <xref linkend="sql-alterroutine"/>,
the <literal>DEPENDS ON EXTENSION <replaceable>extension_name</replaceable>
</literal> action), to be dropped as well.
</para>
<para>
You must own the extension to use <command>DROP EXTENSION</command>.

<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><literal>IF EXISTS</literal></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Do not throw an error if the extension does not exist. A notice is issued
in this case.

<varlistentry>
<term><literal>CASCADE</literal></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Automatically drop objects that depend on the extension,
and in turn all objects that depend on those objects
(see <xref linkend="ddl-depend"/>).
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><literal>RESTRICT</literal></term>
<listitem>
<para>
This option prevents the specified extensions from being dropped if
other objects, besides these extensions, their members, and their
explicitly dependent routines, depend on them. This is the default.

<title>Examples</title>
<para>
To remove the extension <literal>hstore</literal> from the current
database:
<programlisting>
DROP EXTENSION hstore;
</programlisting>
This command will fail if any of <literal>hstore</literal>'s objects
are in use in the database, for example if any tables have columns
of the <type>hstore</type> type. Add the <literal>CASCADE</literal> option to
forcibly remove those dependent objects as well.
