Use the DROP
OPERATOR
statement to drop a user-defined operator.
See Also:
|
The operator must be in your schema or you must have the DROP
ANY
OPERATOR
system privilege.
drop_operator::=
Specify the schema containing the operator. If you omit schema, Oracle assumes the operator is in your own schema.
Specify the name of the operator to be dropped.
Specify FORCE
to drop the operator even if it is currently being referenced by one or more schema objects (indextypes, packages, functions, procedures, and so on), and marks those dependent objects INVALID
. Without FORCE
, you cannot drop an operator if any schema objects reference it.
The following statement drops the operator eq_op
:
DROP OPERATOR eq_op;
Because the FORCE
clause is not specified, this operation will fail if any of the bindings of this operator are referenced by an indextype.
