DESCRIPTIONdroplang is a utility for removing an existing programming language
from a Postgres 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 per‐
forms a number of checks and is much easier to use. See DROP LANGUAGE
[drop_language(l)] for more.
NOTES
Use createlang(1) to add a language.
USAGE
To remove pltcl:
$ droplang pltcl
