DESCRIPTION

    DROP PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE will remove the definition of the previously registered procedural language called name.

    The DROP PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE statement is a Postgres language extension.

    No checks are made if functions or trigger procedures registered in this language still exist. To re-enable them without having to drop and recreate all the functions, the pg_proc's prolang attribute of the functions must be adjusted to the new object ID of the recreated pg_language entry for the PL.

USAGE

    This command removes the PL/Sample language:

    DROP PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE 'plsample';
