Folks,

Yesterday I noticed one of my tables required an extra column along with a
foreign key that refers to an external table. I created the migration's up
block, tested it and it worked fine.
However, when creating the down block I couldn't figure out how to drop a
foreign key. Sequel doesn't have a method "drop_foreign_key" like it does
for columns and constraints so that didn't work.
After some googling I noticed that a person reported a similar issue before
(Gcode ticket #284), in that ticket Jeremy replied saying that this could be
achieved by storing the FK using a custom constraint name
and then using "drop_constraint" to drop that particular foreign key. Now
here's the problem, that doesn't work either. In MySQL foreign keys are
dropped using "DROP FOREIGN KEY" rather than "DROP CONSTRAINT"
(correct me if I'm wrong) and thus the latter produces a syntax error as
seen here: http://scrp.at/tA. My migration looks like the following:
http://scrp.at/tB

If anybody could point me out how to properly remove a foreign key that
would be wonderful. If more details are required feel free to ask for them
:]
