NAME
       DROP TRIGGER - remove a trigger


SYNOPSIS
       DROP TRIGGER name ON table [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]


DESCRIPTION
       DROP  TRIGGER  will  remove an existing trigger definition. To execute
       this command, the current user must be the  owner  of  the  table  for
       which the trigger is defined.

PARAMETERS
       name   The name of the trigger to remove.

       table  The name (optionally schema-qualified) of a table for which the
	      trigger is defined.

       CASCADE
	      Automatically drop objects that depend on the trigger.

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

EXAMPLES
       Destroy the trigger if_dist_exists on the table films:

       DROP TRIGGER if_dist_exists ON films;


COMPATIBILITY
       The  DROP TRIGGER statement in PostgreSQL is incompatible with the SQL
       standard. In the SQL standard, trigger names are not local to  tables,
       so the command is simply DROP TRIGGER name.
