DROP OPERATOR(7)         PostgreSQL 15.7 Documentation        DROP OPERATOR(7)

NAME
       DROP_OPERATOR - remove an operator

SYNOPSIS
       DROP OPERATOR [ IF EXISTS ] name ( { left_type | NONE } , right_type ) [, ...] [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION
       DROP OPERATOR drops an existing operator from the database system. To
       execute this command you must be the owner of the operator.

PARAMETERS
       IF EXISTS
           Do not throw an error if the operator does not exist. A notice is
           issued in this case.

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

       left_type
           The data type of the operator's left operand; write NONE if the
           operator has no left operand.

       right_type
           The data type of the operator's right operand.

       CASCADE
           Automatically drop objects that depend on the operator (such as
           views using it), and in turn all objects that depend on those
           objects (see Section 5.14).

       RESTRICT
           Refuse to drop the operator if any objects depend on it. This is
           the default.

EXAMPLES
       Remove the power operator a^b for type integer:

           DROP OPERATOR ^ (integer, integer);

       Remove the bitwise-complement prefix operator ~b for type bit:

           DROP OPERATOR ~ (none, bit);

       Remove multiple operators in one command:

           DROP OPERATOR ~ (none, bit), ^ (integer, integer);

COMPATIBILITY
       There is no DROP OPERATOR statement in the SQL standard.
