  <para>
   <command>DROP OPERATOR FAMILY</command> drops an existing operator family.
   To execute this command you must be the owner of the operator family.
  </para>

  <para>
   <command>DROP OPERATOR FAMILY</command> includes dropping any operator
   classes contained in the family, but it does not drop any of the operators
   or functions referenced by the family.  If there are any indexes depending
   on operator classes within the family, you will need to specify
   <literal>CASCADE</> for the drop to complete.

   that use operator classes within the family.  Add <literal>CASCADE</> to
   drop such indexes along with the operator family.
