Maybe a short explanation will get you up to speed faster.

The "make" utility is intended for repetitive tasks (like compiling/linking). It works rule-based. In its input file there is a collection of such rules laid out.

Rules consist of target files, source files and actions. When a source file is changed (=has a time stamp younger than the target file) the action is carried out. Usually carrying out the action creates the target file. The big advantage of using a make-file instead of a script with all the compiler/linker commands is that "make" will skip all the files which are already up to date and only execute the rules necessary to update the files which aren't. It will also stop if one of the commands carried out will return a non-zero error level (compilers do that when encountering severe errors).

You should now be able to understand the manual and work out your little makefile.

I hope this helps.

DROP TEXT SEARCH 
TEMPLATE(7)				  PostgreSQL 9.2.7 Documentation			      DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE(7)

NAME

       DROP_TEXT_SEARCH_TEMPLATE - remove a text search template

SYNOPSIS

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE [ IF EXISTS ] name [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION

       DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE drops an existing text search template. You must be a superuser to use this command.

PARAMETERS

       IF EXISTS
	   Do not throw an error if the text search template does not exist. A notice is issued in this case.

       name
	   The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing text search template.

       CASCADE
	   Automatically drop objects that depend on the text search template.

       RESTRICT
	   Refuse to drop the text search template if any objects depend on it. This is the default.

EXAMPLES

       Remove the text search template thesaurus:

	   DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE thesaurus;

       This command will not succeed if there are any existing text search dictionaries that use the template. Add CASCADE to drop such
       dictionaries along with the template.

COMPATIBILITY

       There is no DROP TEXT SEARCH TEMPLATE statement in the SQL standard.
