Обсуждение: Drop Schema from Postgres

Hi,
I am trying to execute a few postgres commands from a bash file

I am trying to drop a schema by writing the following line

DROP SCHEMA "xxx" IF EXISTS

I have two issues here -
1> I am not sure how to specify the db from which the schema should be
deleted
2> I am getting the following error message  -- "DROP: command not found"

Can anyone help me with this issue

Thanku in advance

The syntax requires:
   DROP SCHEMA IF EXISTS "xxx";

You connect to a particular database.  All operations are against
that database.

Perhaps you should try this in an interactive session and paste the
actual error lines.  I get this:

ERROR:  syntax error at or near "IF"
LINE 1: DROP SCHEMA "xxx" IF EXISTS;
