Well, you would have one of those: DROP DATABASE [IF EXISTS] name WITH (FORCE) DROP DATABASE [IF EXISTS] name Naturally, the WITH is optional in the sense that the clause itself is optional. (Note we don't have CASCADE/RESTRICT in DROP DATABASE.) You propose DROP DATABASE (FORCE) [IF EXISTS] name which seems weird to me -- I think only legacy syntax uses that form. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
