NAME
       DROP OPERATOR CLASS - remove an operator class


SYNOPSIS
       DROP OPERATOR CLASS name USING index_method [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]


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

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

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

       CASCADE
	      Automatically drop objects that depend on the operator class.

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

EXAMPLES
       Remove the B-tree operator class widget_ops:

       DROP OPERATOR CLASS widget_ops USING btree;

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

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