Yeah, I don't much like DISABLE either. I'm also concerned about
overloading RESET this way --- that statement has complicated-enough
syntax already, not to mention way too many shades of meaning. So that
leaves me voting for DISCARD M.V. DATA, which seems pretty precise.
It's a bit verbose, but since when has SQL been succinct?
