DROP TRIGGER IF EXISTS

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

For idempotent execution of DDL scripts, the useful IF EXISTS clause is supported by jOOQ, and emulated using an anonymous, procedural block if possible.

// Drop a trigger
create.dropTriggerIfExists("trg").execute();

Dialect support

This example using jOOQ:

dropTriggerIfExists("type")

Translates to the following dialect specific expressions:

END
