> [!IMPORTANT]  
>  CREATE FULLTEXT STOPLIST is supported only for compatibility level 100 and higher. For compatibility levels 80 and 90, the system stoplist is always assigned to the database.  
  
## Syntax  
  
```  
  
DROP FULLTEXT STOPLIST stoplist_name  
;  
```  
  
## Arguments  
 *stoplist_name*  
 Is the name of the full-text stoplist to drop from the database.  
  
## Remarks  
 DROP FULLTEXT STOPLIST fails if any full-text indexes refer to the full-text stoplist being dropped.  
  
## Permissions  
 To drop a stoplist requires having DROP permission on the stoplist or membership in the **db_owner** or **db_ddladmin** fixed database roles.  
  
## Examples  
 The following example drops a full-text stoplist named `myStoplist`.  
  
```

```
