DROP
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.
