DROP INDEX 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 an index
create.dropIndexIfExists("index").execute();
