DROP TRANSFORM

remove a transform

Synopsis

DROP TRANSFORM [ IF EXISTS ] FOR TYPE_NAME LANGUAGE LANG_NAME [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

Description

DROP TRANSFORM removes a previously defined transform.

To be able to drop a transform, you must own the type and the language. These are the same privileges that are required to create a transform.

Parameters

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

type_name : The name of the data type of the transform.

lang_name : The name of the language of the transform.

CASCADE : Automatically drop objects that depend on the transform, and in turn all objects that depend on those objects (see Dependency Tracking).

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

Examples

To drop the transform for type hstore and language plpython3u:

DROP TRANSFORM FOR hstore LANGUAGE plpython3u;
