I am sending a patch that removes strict requirements for DROP IF

behave now.


postgres=# DROP CAST IF EXISTS (sss AS public.casttesttype);
NOTICE:  types "sss" and "public.casttesttype" does not exist, skipping
DROP CAST
postgres=#   DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS public.pt_in_widget(point, widget);
NOTICE:  function public.pt_in_widget(point,widget) does not exist, skipping
DROP FUNCTION
postgres=#  DROP OPERATOR IF EXISTS public.<% (point, widget);
NOTICE:  operator public.<% does not exist, skipping
DROP OPERATOR
postgres=# DROP TRIGGER test_trigger_exists ON no_such_table;
ERROR:  relation "no_such_table" does not exist
postgres=# DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS test_trigger_exists ON no_such_table;
NOTICE:  trigger "test_trigger_exists" for table "no_such_table" does
not exist, skipping
DROP TRIGGER

This functionality is necessary for correct quite reload from dump
without possible warnings

I'm looking at this patch, and I have a question here.

Should "DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS" ignore error for non-existing trigger
and non-existing table? Or just only for non-existing trigger?

I've not understood the pg_restore issue precisely so far,
but IMHO "DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS" means "if the _trigger_ exists",
not "if the _table_ exists".

Is this a correct and/or an expected behavior?

Sorry if I missed some consensus which we already made.

Any comments?
