DESCRIPTION

       DROP INDEX drops an existing index from the database system. To execute this command you must be the owner of the index.

USAGE

       This command will remove the title_idx index:

	   DROP INDEX title_idx;

COMPATIBILITY

   SQL92
       SQL92  defines  commands by which to access a generic relational database.  Indexes are an implementation-dependent feature and hence there
       are no index-specific commands or definitions in the SQL92 language.
