Syntax

DROP PROCEDURE [[database.]schema.]procedure( [ arg‑list ] )

Parameters

[database.]schema

Specifies a schema, by default public. If schema is any schema other than public, you must supply the schema name. For example:

myschema.thisDbObject

If you specify a database, it must be the current database.

procedure

Specifies the procedure to drop.

arg‑list

A comma-delimited list of arguments defined for this procedure when it was created, specified as follows:

[arg‑name] arg‑type[,…]

where arg‑name optionally qualifies arg‑type. If no arguments are defined for this procedure, specify empty parentheses.
