I am finding that it is a recurring and damaging source of user error that Object/Explorer commands named "Delete" actually correspond to SQL DROP rather than SQL DELETE or TRUNCATE. Multiple times I have accidentally dropped tables when I meant to just truncate them.

I created a GitHub issue requesting to rename the "Delete" commands to "Drop" to help avoid this regular source of cognitive dissonance that leads to errors.

I'm also mentioning the issue in this support list to help draw attention to it.

Thank you.

Darren Duncan
