DROP OPERATOR FAMILY [ IF EXISTS ] <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em> USING <em class="replaceable"><code>index_method</code></em> [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]
</pre></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.121.5"><h2>Description</h2><p>
<code class="command">DROP OPERATOR FAMILY</code> drops an existing operator family.
To execute this command you must be the owner of the operator family.
</p><p>
<code class="command">DROP OPERATOR FAMILY</code> includes dropping any operator
classes contained in the family, but it does not drop any of the operators
or functions referenced by the family. If there are any indexes depending
on operator classes within the family, you will need to specify
<code class="literal">CASCADE</code> for the drop to complete.
</p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.121.6"><h2>Parameters</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">IF EXISTS</code></span></dt><dd><p>
Do not throw an error if the operator family does not exist.
A notice is issued in this case.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em></span></dt><dd><p>
The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing operator family.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><em class="replaceable"><code>index_method</code></em></span></dt><dd><p>
The name of the index access method the operator family is for.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">CASCADE</code></span></dt><dd><p>
Automatically drop objects that depend on the operator family,
and in turn all objects that depend on those objects
(see <a class="xref" href="ddl-depend.html" title="5.14. Dependency Tracking">Section 5.14</a>).
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">RESTRICT</code></span></dt><dd><p>
Refuse to drop the operator family if any objects depend on it.
This is the default.
</p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.121.7"><h2>Examples</h2><p>
Remove the B-tree operator family <code class="literal">float_ops</code>:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
DROP OPERATOR FAMILY float_ops USING btree;
</pre><p>
This command will not succeed if there are any existing indexes
that use operator classes within the family. Add <code class="literal">CASCADE</code> to
drop such indexes along with the operator family.
</p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.121.8"><h2>Compatibility</h2><p>
There is no <code class="command">DROP OPERATOR FAMILY</code> statement in the
SQL standard.
