   <code class="command">DROP CAST</code> removes a previously defined cast.
  </p><p>
   To be able to drop a cast, you must own the source or the target
   data type.  These are the same privileges that are required to
   create a cast.

      Do not throw an error if the cast does not exist. A notice is issued
      in this case.
     </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><em class="replaceable"><code>source_type</code></em></span></dt><dd><p>
       The name of the source data type of the cast.

       These key words do not have any effect, since there are no
