# DROP AGGREGATE

## Name

DROP AGGREGATE -- remove an aggregate function

## Synopsis

    DROP AGGREGATE [ IF EXISTS ] name ( type [ , ... ] ) [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

## Description

`DROP AGGREGATE` removes an existing aggregate function. To execute this command the current user must be the owner of the aggregate function.

## Parameters

`IF EXISTS`

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

`name`

  The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing aggregate function.

`type`

  An input data type on which the aggregate function operates. To reference a zero-argument aggregate function, write `*` in place of the list of input data types.

`CASCADE`

  Automatically drop objects that depend on the aggregate function.

`RESTRICT`

  Refuse to drop the aggregate function if any objects depend on it. This is the default.

## Examples

To remove the aggregate function `myavg` for type `integer`:

    DROP AGGREGATE myavg(integer);

## Compatibility

There is no `DROP AGGREGATE` statement in the SQL standard.
