<title>Description</title>
<para>
<command>DROP PROCEDURE</command> removes the definition of an existing
procedure. To execute this command the user must be the
owner of the procedure. The argument types to the
procedure must be specified, since several different procedures
can exist with the same name and different argument lists.
