Syntax

DROP USER username
  [USING PLUGIN plugin_name]

Table 1. `DROP USER` Statement Parameter
Parameter	Description
username	Username
plugin_name	Name of the user manager plugin

The optional USING PLUGIN clause explicitly specifies the user manager plugin to use for dropping the user.Only plugins listed in the UserManager configuration for this database (firebird.conf, or overridden in databases.conf) are valid.The default user manager (first in the UserManager configuration) is applied when this clause is not specified.

Important

Users of the same name created using different user manager plugins are different objects.Therefore, the user created with one user manager plugin can only be dropped by that same plugin.

Note	Remember to commit your work if you are working in an application that does not auto-commit DDL.
