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();
