## Name

DROP TEXT SEARCH PARSER — remove a text search parser

## Synopsis

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

## Description

`DROP TEXT SEARCH PARSER` drops an existing text search parser. You must be a superuser to use this command.

## Parameters

`IF EXISTS`

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

`name`

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

`CASCADE`

  Automatically drop objects that depend on the text search parser, and in turn all objects that depend on those objects (see Section 5.13, “Dependency Tracking”).

`RESTRICT`

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

## Examples

Remove the text search parser `my_parser`:

    DROP TEXT SEARCH PARSER my_parser;

This command will not succeed if there are any existing text search configurations that use the parser. Add `CASCADE` to drop such configurations along with the parser.

## Compatibility

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