NAME
       DROP_EVENT_TRIGGER - remove an event trigger

SYNOPSIS
       DROP EVENT TRIGGER [ IF EXISTS ] name [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION
       DROP EVENT TRIGGER removes an existing event trigger. To execute this command, the current
       user must be the owner of the event trigger.

PARAMETERS
       IF EXISTS
           Do not throw an error if the event trigger does not exist. A notice is issued in this
           case.

       name
           The name of the event trigger to remove.

       CASCADE
           Automatically drop objects that depend on the trigger, and in turn all objects that
           depend on those objects (see Section 5.14).

       RESTRICT
           Refuse to drop the trigger if any objects depend on it. This is the default.

EXAMPLES
       Destroy the trigger snitch:

           DROP EVENT TRIGGER snitch;
