DROP
NAME
  DROP AGGREGATE - remove a user-defined aggregate function

SYNOPSIS
  DROP AGGREGATE name ( type ) [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

  INPUTS

  name The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing aggregate
       function.

  type The input data type of the 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]

  CASCADE
       Automatically drop objects that depend on the aggregate.

  RESTRICT
       Refuse to drop the aggregate if there are any dependent objects.	 This
       is the default.

  OUTPUTS

  DROP AGGREGATE
       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 delete 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.
