# DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE

## Name

DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE -- remove a text search template

## Synopsis

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

## Description

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

## Parameters

`IF EXISTS`

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

`name`

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

`CASCADE`

  Automatically drop objects that depend on the text search template.

`RESTRICT`

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

## Examples

Remove the text search template `thesaurus`:

    DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE thesaurus;

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

## Compatibility
