Description
droplang is a utility for removing an
existing programming language from a
PostgreSQL database.
droplang currently accepts two
languages, plsql and pltcl.
Although backend programming languages can be removed directly using
several SQL commands, it is recommended to use
droplang because it performs a number
of checks and is much easier to use. See
for more.
Notes
Use
to add a language.
Usage
To remove pltcl:
$ droplang pltcl
