Overview
DROP TRIGGER will remove all references to an existing trigger definition. To execute this command the current user must be the owner of the table for which the trigger is defined.

DROP TRIGGER if_dist_exists ON films;
Compatibility
SQL92-
There is no DROP TRIGGER statement in SQL92.
SQL99-
The DROP TRIGGER statement in PostgreSQL is incompatible with SQL99. In SQL99, trigger names are not local to tables, so the command is simply DROP TRIGGER name.
