DESCRIPTION
DROP TRIGGER will remove an existing trigger definition. To
execute this command the current user must be the owner of
the table for which the trigger is defined.

DROP TRIGGER if_dist_exists ON films;
COMPATIBILITY
SQL92
There is no DROP TRIGGER statement in SQL92.
SQL99
The DROP TRIGGER statement in PostgreSQL is
incompatible with SQL99. In SQL99, trigger names are
not local to tables, so the command is simply DROP
TRIGGER name.
