SYNOPSIS
  DROP AGGREGATE name ( type )

  INPUTS

  type The input data type of an existing aggregate function, or * if the
       function accepts any input type.	 (Refer to the PostgreSQL User's
       Guide for further information about data types.) [Comment: This should
       become a cross-reference rather than a hard-coded chapter number]

  OUTPUTS

  DROP Message returned if the command is successful.

  ERROR: RemoveAggregate: aggregate 'name' for type type does not exist
       This message occurs if the aggregate function specified does not exist
       in the database.

DESCRIPTION
  DROP AGGREGATE will remove all references to an existing aggregate
  definition. To execute this command the current user must be the owner of
  the aggregate.

  NOTES

  Use CREATE AGGREGATE [create_aggregate(5)] to create aggregate functions.

USAGE
  To remove the myavg aggregate for type int4:

  DROP AGGREGATE myavg(int4);

COMPATIBILITY
  SQL92

  There is no DROP AGGREGATE statement in SQL92; the statement is a
  PostgreSQL language extension.
