drop_domain
name
Specify the name of the domain. An error is raised if the specified domain does not exist (unless IF EXISTS is set). An error is raised if any objects depend on this domain (unless CASCADE is set).
IF EXISTS
Do not throw an error if the domain does not exist.
CASCADE
Automatically drop objects that depend on the domain such as table columns using the domain data type and, in turn, all other objects that depend on those objects.
RESTRICT
Refuse to drop the domain if objects depend on it (default).
Examples

yugabyte=# DROP DOMAIN idx;
Example 2
yugabyte=# CREATE DOMAIN idx DEFAULT 5 CHECK (VALUE > 0);
yugabyte=# CREATE TABLE t (k idx primary key);
