Description

DROP AGGREGATE removes an existing aggregate function. To execute this command the current user must be the owner of the aggregate function.

Parameters

IF EXISTS

Do not throw an error if the aggregate does not exist. A notice is issued in this case.

An input data type on which the aggregate function operates. To reference a zero-argument aggregate function, write * in place of the list of input data types.

CASCADE

Automatically drop objects that depend on the aggregate function.

RESTRICT

Examples

To remove the aggregate function myavg for type integer:

DROP AGGREGATE myavg(integer);
