From time to time the suggestion crops up of allowing a DROP IF EXISTS
... syntax. This seems not unreasonable, and I just spent a few minutes
looking at what might be involved. Especially in the case of a table,
view, sequence and index the changes look like they would be very modest
indeed, and not enormously greater in the case of a type, domain,
conversion and schema.
Is this worth doing? Would it be acceptable?
