The <command>DROP TRIGGER</> statement is not yet supported
in <productname>Postgres-XL</>.

<refsect1 id="SQL-DROPTRIGGER-compatibility">
<title>Compatibility</title>
<para>
The <command>DROP TRIGGER</command> statement in
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> is incompatible with the SQL
standard. In the SQL standard, trigger names are not local to
tables, so the command is simply <literal>DROP TRIGGER
<replaceable>name</replaceable></literal>.
