DESCRIPTION

      DROP TYPE will remove a user-defined data type.  Only the owner of a type can remove it.

PARAMETERS

      name   The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the data type to remove.
 
      CASCADE
             Automatically drop objects that depend on the type (such as table columns, functions, operators).
 
      RESTRICT
             Refuse to drop the type if any objects depend on it. This is the default.

EXAMPLES

      To remove the data type box:
 
      DROP TYPE box;

COMPATIBILITY

      This  command  is similar to the corresponding command in the SQL standard, but note that the CREATE TYPE command
      and the data type extension mechanisms in PostgreSQL differ from the SQL standard.
