+</pre></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.127.5"><h2>Description</h2><p>
+ <code class="command">DROP ROUTINE</code> removes the definition of one or more
+ existing routines. The term <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">routine</span>”</span> includes
+ aggregate functions, normal functions, and procedures. See
+ under <a class="xref" href="sql-dropaggregate.html" title="DROP AGGREGATE"><span class="refentrytitle">DROP AGGREGATE</span></a>, <a class="xref" href="sql-dropfunction.html" title="DROP FUNCTION"><span class="refentrytitle">DROP FUNCTION</span></a>,
+ and <a class="xref" href="sql-dropprocedure.html" title="DROP PROCEDURE"><span class="refentrytitle">DROP PROCEDURE</span></a> for the description of the
+ parameters, more examples, and further details.
+ </p></div><div class="refsect1" id="SQL-DROPROUTINE-NOTES"><h2>Notes</h2><p>
+ The lookup rules used by <code class="command">DROP ROUTINE</code> are
+ fundamentally the same as for <code class="command">DROP PROCEDURE</code>; in
+ particular, <code class="command">DROP ROUTINE</code> shares that command's
+ behavior of considering an argument list that has
+ no <em class="replaceable"><code>argmode</code></em> markers to be
+ possibly using the SQL standard's definition that <code class="literal">OUT</code>
+ arguments are included in the list. (<code class="command">DROP AGGREGATE</code>
+ and <code class="command">DROP FUNCTION</code> do not do that.)
+ </p><p>
+ In some cases where the same name is shared by routines of different
+ kinds, it is possible for <code class="command">DROP ROUTINE</code> to fail with
+ an ambiguity error when a more specific command (<code class="command">DROP
+ FUNCTION</code>, etc.) would work. Specifying the argument type
+ list more carefully will also resolve such problems.
+ </p><p>
+ These lookup rules are also used by other commands that
+ act on existing routines, such as <code class="command">ALTER ROUTINE</code>
+ and <code class="command">COMMENT ON ROUTINE</code>.
+ </p></div><div class="refsect1" id="SQL-DROPROUTINE-EXAMPLES"><h2>Examples</h2><p>
+ To drop the routine <code class="literal">foo</code> for type
+ <code class="type">integer</code>:
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+DROP ROUTINE foo(integer);
+</pre><p>
+ This command will work independent of whether <code class="literal">foo</code> is an
+ aggregate, function, or procedure.
+ </p></div><div class="refsect1" id="SQL-DROPROUTINE-COMPATIBILITY"><h2>Compatibility</h2><p>
+ This command conforms to the SQL standard, with
