MySQL 9.4 Reference Manual Including MySQL NDB Cluster 9.4
DROP VIEW [IF EXISTS]view_name
[,view_name
] ... [RESTRICT | CASCADE]
DROP VIEW
removes one or more
views. You must have the DROP
privilege for each view. DROP VIEW
works with
SQL views (see Section 27.6, “Using Views”) as well as with JSON
duality views (see Section 27.7, “JSON Duality Views”).
If any views named in the argument list do not exist, the statement fails with an error indicating by name which nonexisting views it was unable to drop, and no changes are made.
The IF EXISTS
clause prevents an error from
occurring for views that don't exist. When this clause is given, a
NOTE
is generated for each nonexistent view.
See Section 15.7.7.43, “SHOW WARNINGS Statement”.
RESTRICT
and CASCADE
, if
given, are parsed and ignored.
