## DROP CONVERSION

DROP CONVERSION — remove a conversion

## Synopsis

```
DROP CONVERSION [ IF EXISTS ] name [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

```

## Description

`DROP CONVERSION` removes a previously defined conversion. To be able to drop a conversion, you must own the conversion.

## Parameters

`IF EXISTS`

 Do not throw an error if the conversion does not exist. A notice is issued in this case.

*`name`*

 The name of the conversion. The conversion name can be schema-qualified.

`CASCADE`  
`RESTRICT`

 These key words do not have any effect, since there are no dependencies on conversions.

## Examples

 To drop the conversion named `myname`:

```
DROP CONVERSION myname;

```

## Compatibility

 There is no `DROP CONVERSION` statement in the SQL standard, but a `DROP TRANSLATION` statement that goes along with the `CREATE TRANSLATION` statement that is similar to the `CREATE CONVERSION` statement in PostgreSQL.
