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

{% highlight sql %}
DROP [ TEMPORARY ] FUNCTION [ IF EXISTS ] [ db_name. ] function_name
{% endhighlight %}
### Parameters
<dl>
<dt><code><em>function_name</em></code></dt>
<dd>The name of an existing function.</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt><code><em>TEMPORARY</em></code></dt>
<dd>Should be used to delete the `temporary` function.</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt><code><em>IF EXISTS</em></code></dt>
<dd>If specified, no exception is thrown when the function does not exist.</dd>
</dl>
### Example
{% highlight sql %}
-- 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;
