Amazon Redshift will no longer support the creation of new Python UDFs starting November 1, 2025. If you would like to use Python UDFs, create the UDFs prior to that date. Existing Python UDFs will continue to function as normal. For more information, see the blog post .

DROP LIBRARY

Removes a custom Python library from the database. Only the library owner or a superuser can drop a library.

DROP LIBRARY can't be run inside a transaction block (BEGIN … END). For more information about transactions, see Serializable isolation.

This command isn't reversible. The DROP LIBRARY command commits immediately. If a UDF that depends on the library is running concurrently, the UDF might fail, even if the UDF is running within a transaction.

For more information, see CREATE LIBRARY.
