DROP OPERATOR FAMILY(7)           PostgreSQL 14.15 Documentation          DROP OPERATOR FAMILY(7)

NAME
       DROP_OPERATOR_FAMILY - remove an operator family

SYNOPSIS
       DROP OPERATOR FAMILY [ IF EXISTS ] name USING index_method [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION
       DROP OPERATOR FAMILY drops an existing operator family. To execute this command you must
       be the owner of the operator family.

       DROP OPERATOR FAMILY 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
       CASCADE for the drop to complete.

PARAMETERS
       IF EXISTS
           Do not throw an error if the operator family does not exist. A notice is issued in
           this case.

       name
           The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing operator family.

       index_method
           The name of the index access method the operator family is for.

       CASCADE
           Automatically drop objects that depend on the operator family, and in turn all objects
           that depend on those objects (see Section 5.14).

       RESTRICT
           Refuse to drop the operator family if any objects depend on it. This is the default.

EXAMPLES
       Remove the B-tree operator family float_ops:

           DROP OPERATOR FAMILY float_ops USING btree;

       This command will not succeed if there are any existing indexes that use operator classes
       within the family. Add CASCADE to drop such indexes along with the operator family.

COMPATIBILITY
       There is no DROP OPERATOR FAMILY statement in the SQL standard.
