droplang - Unix, Linux Command
NAME
droplang - remove a PostgreSQL procedural language
SYNOPSIS
droplang [ connection-option... ] langname [ dbname ]
droplang [ connection-option... ] --list | -l dbname
DESCRIPTION
droplang is a utility for removing an
existing programming language from a
PostgreSQL database.
droplang can drop any procedural language,
even those not supplied by the PostgreSQL distribution.
Although backend programming languages can be removed directly using
several SQL commands, it is recommended to use
droplang because it performs a number
of checks and is much easier to use. See
DROP LANGUAGE [drop_language(7)]
for more.
