DROP
NAME
  DROP FUNCTION - remove a user-defined function

SYNOPSIS
  DROP FUNCTION name ( [ type [, ...] ] ) [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

  INPUTS

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

  type The type of a parameter of the function.

  CASCADE
       Automatically drop objects that depend on the function (such as
       operators or triggers).

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

  OUTPUTS

  DROP FUNCTION
       Message returned if the command completes successfully.

  WARNING: RemoveFunction: Function "name" ("types") does not exist
       This message is given if the function specified does not exist in the
       current database.

DESCRIPTION
  DROP FUNCTION will remove the definition of an existing function. To
  execute this command the user must be the owner of the function. The input
  argument types to the function must be specified, since several different
  functions may exist with the same name and different argument lists.

NOTES
  Refer to CREATE FUNCTION [create_function(5)] for information on creating
  functions.

EXAMPLES
  This command removes the square root function:

  DROP FUNCTION sqrt(integer);

COMPATIBILITY
  A DROP FUNCTION statement is defined in SQL99. One of its syntax forms is
  similar to PostgreSQL's.

SEE ALSO
  CREATE FUNCTION [create_function(5)]
