A tablespace can only be dropped by its owner or a superuser.
|
|
|
|
The tablespace must be empty of all database objects before it can be
|
|
|
|
dropped. It is possible that objects in other databases may still reside
|
|
|
|
in the tablespace even if no objects in the current database are using
|
|
|
|
the tablespace.
