+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBDROP ROUTINE\fR
+removes the definition of an existing routine, which can be an aggregate function, a normal function, or a procedure\&. See under
+DROP AGGREGATE (\fBDROP_AGGREGATE\fR(7)),
+DROP FUNCTION (\fBDROP_FUNCTION\fR(7)), and
+DROP PROCEDURE (\fBDROP_PROCEDURE\fR(7))
+for the description of the parameters, more examples, and further details\&.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.PP
+To drop the routine
+foo
+for type
+integer:
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+DROP ROUTINE foo(integer);
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.sp
+This command will work independent of whether
+foo
+is an aggregate, function, or procedure\&.
+.SH "COMPATIBILITY"
+.PP
+This command conforms to the SQL standard, with these
+PostgreSQL
+extensions:
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.ie n \{\
+\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
+.\}
+.el \{\
+.sp -1
+.IP \(bu 2.3
+.\}
+The standard only allows one routine to be dropped per command\&.
