DROP_CAST - remove a cast

Compatibility

       The DROPCAST command conforms to the SQL standard.

Description

DROPCAST removes a previously defined cast.

       To be able to drop a cast, you must own the source or the target data type. These are the same privileges
       that are required to create a cast.

Examples

       To drop the cast from type text to type int:

           DROP CAST (text AS int);

Name

       DROP_CAST - remove a cast

Parameters

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

       source_type
           The name of the source data type of the cast.

       target_type
           The name of the target data type of the cast.

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