The DROP RULE
statement
deletes the specified rule. Scope | |
ISQL or Application Programs SQL Syntax | |
DROP RULE [Owner.]RuleName [FROM TABLE [Owner.]TableName] |
Parameters | |
- [Owner.]RuleName
identifies the rule to be dropped. - [Owner.]TableName
identifies the table the rule is defined on.
Description | |
If a TableName is specified, the rule must exist on that table or
an error will be returned. If no TableName is specified, the rule is located and dropped. Since
rule names are unique per owner, not per table, there is no ambiguity
in references to RuleName. The DROP RULE statement invalidates stored sections that have dependencies
defined upon the table the rule is defined on. This will permit
the rule to be removed when the sections are revalidated. The procedure a rule invokes will not be affected
by the removal of that rule. If no rule owner is specified and no table is specified,
the default owner is the current DBEUserID. If no rule owner is specified and a table is specified,
the default rule owner is the table owner. If a table is specified and no owner is specified
for it, the default table owner is the current DBEUserID. The table and rule owners must be the same.
Authorization | |
You can issue this statement if you have OWNER authority for
the rule or DBA authority. Example | |
DROP RULE PurchDB.InsertReport
DROP RULE PurchDB.DeleteReport
DROP RULE PurchDB.UpdateReport |
