DROP CONVERSION

remove a conversion

DROP CONVERSION \[ IF EXISTS \]

name

\[ CASCADE \| RESTRICT \]

Description {#sql-dropconversion-description}
===========

`DROP CONVERSION` removes a previously defined conversion. To be able to
drop a conversion, you must own the conversion.

Parameters
==========

`IF EXISTS`

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

name

:   The name of the conversion. The conversion name can be
    schema-qualified.

`CASCADE`; `RESTRICT`

:   These key words do not have any effect, since there are no
    dependencies on conversions.

Examples {#sql-dropconversion-examples}
========

To drop the conversion named `myname`:

    DROP CONVERSION myname;

Compatibility {#sql-dropconversion-compat}
=============

There is no `DROP CONVERSION` statement in the SQL standard, but a
`DROP TRANSLATION` statement that goes along with the
`CREATE TRANSLATION` statement that is similar to the
`CREATE CONVERSION` statement in PostgreSQL.
