DROP LANGUAGE — remove a procedural language
DROP [ PROCEDURAL ] LANGUAGE [ IF EXISTS ] name
[ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]
DROP LANGUAGE
removes the definition of a
previously registered procedural language. You must be a superuser
or the owner of the language to use DROP LANGUAGE
.
As of PostgreSQL 9.1, most procedural
languages have been made into “extensions”, and should
therefore be removed with DROP EXTENSION
not DROP LANGUAGE
.
IF EXISTS
Do not throw an error if the language does not exist. A notice is issued in this case.
name
The name of an existing procedural language. For backward compatibility, the name can be enclosed by single quotes.
CASCADE
Automatically drop objects that depend on the language (such as functions in the language), and in turn all objects that depend on those objects (see Section 5.13).
RESTRICT
Refuse to drop the language if any objects depend on it. This is the default.
This command removes the procedural language
