FUNCTION
statement to remove a standalone stored function from the database.

The function must be in your own schema or you must have the DROP
ANY
PROCEDURE
system privilege.
drop_function::=
Specify the schema containing the function. If you omit schema, Oracle assumes the function is in your own schema.
Specify the name of the function to be dropped.
Oracle invalidates any local objects that depend on, or call, the dropped function. If you subsequently reference one of these objects, Oracle tries to recompile the object and returns an error if you have not re-created the dropped function.
If any statistics types are associated with the function, Oracle disassociates the statistics types with the FORCE
option and drops any user-defined statistics collected with the statistics type.
