DROP VIEW kinds;
COMPATIBILITY
SQL92
SQL92 specifies some additional capabilities for DROP
VIEW:
DROP VIEW view { RESTRICT | CASCADE }
INPUTS
RESTRICT
Ensures that only a view with no dependent views or
integrity constraints can be destroyed.

will be dropped as well.
At present, to remove a referenced view from a Postgres
