Description
DROP USER removes an existing user. Attempting to drop a user that does
not exist results in an invalid query condition unless the IF EXISTS option
is used. If the option is used, the statement will be a no-op if the user does not exist. A
user must have appropriate permission to issue a DROP USER statement. Users cannot drop
themselves.
Enclose the user name in single quotation marks only if it contains non-alphanumeric characters.
Examples
Drop a user if the user exists:
DROP USER IF EXISTS boone;
Drop a user:
DROP USER montana;
