NAME
       DROP SERVER - remove a foreign server descriptor


SYNOPSIS
       DROP SERVER [ IF EXISTS ] servername [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]


DESCRIPTION

       the server.

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

       servername
              The name of an existing server.

       CASCADE
              Automatically drop objects that depend on the server (such as user mappings).

       RESTRICT
              Refuse to drop the server if any objects depend on it. This is the default.

EXAMPLES
       Drop a server foo if it exists:

       DROP SERVER IF EXISTS foo;
