Synopsis

DROP [ PROCEDURAL ] LANGUAGE [ IF EXISTS ] name [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

Description

DROP LANGUAGE will remove the definition of the previously registered procedural language called name.

Parameters

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