## DROP TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION

DROP TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION — remove a text search configuration

## Synopsis

    DROP TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION [ IF EXISTS ] name [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

## Description

`DROP TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION` drops an existing text search configuration. To execute this command you must be the owner of the configuration.

## Parameters

`IF EXISTS`

  Do not throw an error if the text search configuration does not exist. A notice is issued in this case.

`name`

  The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing text search configuration.

`CASCADE`

  Automatically drop objects that depend on the text search configuration, and in turn all objects that depend on those objects (see Section 5.14).

`RESTRICT`

  Refuse to drop the text search configuration if any objects depend on it. This is the default.

## Examples

Remove the text search configuration `my_english`:

    DROP TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION my_english;

This command will not succeed if there are any existing indexes that reference the configuration in `to_tsvector` calls. Add `CASCADE` to drop such indexes along with the text search configuration.

## Compatibility

There is no `DROP TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION` statement in the SQL standard.
