Description

The DROP FUNCTION statement drops a temporary or user defined function (UDF). An exception will be thrown if the function does not exist.

Syntax

DROP [ TEMPORARY ] FUNCTION [ IF EXISTS ] function_name

Parameters

  • function_name

    Specifies the name of an existing function. The function name may be optionally qualified with a database name.

    Syntax: [ database_name. ] function_name

  • TEMPORARY

    Should be used to delete the TEMPORARY function.

  • IF EXISTS

    If specified, no exception is thrown when the function does not exist.

Examples

-- Create a permanent function `test_avg`
CREATE FUNCTION test_avg AS 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.udf.generic.GenericUDAFAverage';

-- List user functions
SHOW USER FUNCTIONS;
+----------------+
|        function|
