Syntax¶

DROP NETWORK RULE [ IF EXISTS ] <name>

Copy

Parameters¶

name

Specifies the identifier for the network rule to drop.

If the identifier contains spaces or special characters, the entire string must be enclosed in double quotes. Identifiers enclosed in double quotes are case-sensitive.

Access control requirements¶

A role used to execute this operation must have the following privileges at a minimum:

Privilege	Object	Notes
OWNERSHIP	Network Rule	OWNERSHIP is a special privilege on an object that is automatically granted to the role that created the object, but can also be transferred using the GRANT OWNERSHIP command to a different role by the owning role (or any role with the MANAGE GRANTS privilege).

For instructions on creating a custom role with a specified set of privileges, see Creating custom roles.

For general information about roles and privilege grants for performing SQL actions on securable objects, see Overview of Access Control.

Usage notes¶

Dropped network rules can’t be recovered; they must be recreated.

When the IF EXISTS clause is specified and the target object doesn’t exist, the command completes successfully without returning an error.

Examples¶

Drop a network rule named myrule:

DROP NETWORK RULE myrule;
