DROP CONVERSION [ IF EXISTS ] <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em> [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]
</pre></div><div class="refsect1" id="SQL-DROPCONVERSION-DESCRIPTION"><h2>Description</h2><p>
<code class="command">DROP CONVERSION</code> removes a previously defined conversion.
To be able to drop a conversion, you must own the conversion.

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

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

These key words do not have any effect, since there are no

To drop the conversion named <code class="literal">myname</code>:

DROP CONVERSION myname;

There is no <code class="command">DROP CONVERSION</code> statement in the SQL
standard, but a <code class="command">DROP TRANSLATION</code> statement that
goes along with the <code class="command">CREATE TRANSLATION</code> statement
that is similar to the <code class="command">CREATE CONVERSION</code>
statement in PostgreSQL.
