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

NONE
if the operator has no left operand.
right_type

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.

a^b
for type
integer:

DROP OPERATOR ^ (integer, integer);
Remove the bitwise-complement prefix operator
~b
for type

Remove multiple operators in one command:
-
DROP OPERATOR ~ (none, bit), ^ (integer, integer);
