The name of the conversion. The conversion name can be schema-qualified.

CASCADE

DROP CONVERSION myname;

COMPATIBILITY

There is no DROP CONVERSION statement in the SQL standard, but a DROP TRANSLATION statement that goes along with the CREATE TRANSLATION statement that is similar to the CREATE CONVERSION statement in PostgreSQL.
