+ <code class="command">DROP EXTENSION</code> removes extensions from the database.
+ Dropping an extension causes its member objects, and other explicitly

+ the <code class="literal">DEPENDS ON EXTENSION <em class="replaceable"><code>extension_name</code></em>

+ This command will fail if any of <code class="literal">hstore</code>'s objects
