## DROP STATISTICS

DROP STATISTICS — remove extended statistics

## Synopsis

```
DROP STATISTICS [ IF EXISTS ] name [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

```

## Description

`DROP STATISTICS` removes statistics object(s) from the database. Only the statistics object's owner, the schema owner, or a superuser can drop a statistics object.

## Parameters

`IF EXISTS`

 Do not throw an error if the statistics object does not exist. A notice is issued in this case.

*`name`*

 The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the statistics object to drop.

`CASCADE`  
`RESTRICT`

 These key words do not have any effect, since there are no dependencies on statistics.

## Examples

 To destroy two statistics objects in different schemas, without failing if they don't exist:

```
DROP STATISTICS IF EXISTS
    accounting.users_uid_creation,
    public.grants_user_role;

```

## Compatibility

 There is no `DROP STATISTICS` command in the SQL standard.
