<application>droplang</application> is a utility for removing an

existing programming language from a

|
|
|
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> database.
|
|
|

<application>droplang</application> can drop any procedural language,

even those not supplied by the <productname>PostgreSQL</> distribution.

Although backend programming languages can be removed directly using
|
|
|
|
several <acronym>SQL</acronym> commands, it is recommended to use
|
|
|
|
<application>droplang</application> because it performs a number
|
|
|
|
of checks and is much easier to use. See
