# DROP PACKAGE

## Syntax

```sql
DROP PACKAGE [IF EXISTS]  [ db_name . ] package_name
```

## Description

The `DROP PACKAGE` statement can be used when [Oracle SQL\_MODE](https://app.gitbook.com/s/aEnK0ZXmUbJzqQrTjFyb/community-server/about/compatibility-and-differences/sql_modeoracle) is set.

The `DROP PACKAGE` statement drops a stored package entirely:

* Drops the package specification (earlier created using the [CREATE PACKAGE](https://mariadb.com/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/data-definition/create/create-package) statement).
* Drops the package implementation, if the implementation was already created using the [CREATE PACKAGE BODY](https://mariadb.com/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/data-definition/create/create-package-body) statement.
