Apache Spark commented on SPARK-38939: -------------------------------------- User 'jackierwzhang' has created a pull request for this issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/36249 > Support ALTER TABLE ... DROP [IF EXISTS] COLUMN .. syntax > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-38939 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-38939 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: SQL > Affects Versions: 3.2.0, 3.2.1, 3.3.0 > Reporter: Jackie Zhang > Priority: Major > > Currently `ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN(s) ...` syntax will always throw error > if the column doesn't exist. We would like to provide an (IF EXISTS) syntax > to provide better user experience for downstream handlers (such as Delta) > that support it, and make consistent with some other DMLs such as `DROP TABLE > (IF EXISTS)` -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
