    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?


My opinion is so, both variants should be ignored - it should be fully fault tolerant in this use case.




This thread seems to have gone cold, but I'm inclined to agree with Pavel. If the table doesn't exist, neither does the trigger, and the whole point of the 'IF EXISTS' variants is to provide the ability to issue DROP commands that don't fail if their target is missing.

cheers
