A notice is issued in this case. source_type The name of the source data type of the cast. target_type The name of the target data type of the cast. CASCADE RESTRICT These key words do not have any effect, since there are no dependencies on casts. EXAMPLES To drop the cast from type text to type int: DROP CAST (text AS int); COMPATIBILITY The DROP CAST command conforms to the SQL standard.
