## DROP EVENT TRIGGER

DROP EVENT TRIGGER — remove an event trigger

## Synopsis

```
DROP EVENT TRIGGER [ IF EXISTS ] name [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

```

## Description

`DROP EVENT TRIGGER` removes an existing event trigger. To execute this command, the current user must be the owner of the event trigger.

## Parameters

`IF EXISTS`

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

*`name`*

 The name of the event trigger to remove.

`CASCADE`

 Automatically drop objects that depend on the trigger, and in turn all objects that depend on those objects (see [Section 5.14](ddl-depend.html)).

`RESTRICT`

 Refuse to drop the trigger if any objects depend on it. This is the default.

## Examples

 Destroy the trigger `snitch`:

```
DROP EVENT TRIGGER snitch;

```

## Compatibility

 There is no `DROP EVENT TRIGGER` statement in the SQL standard.
