Hi,
Much less controversial question this time, I hope ;-)
I have:
class MyModel(Base)
...
I want to do:
engine = create_engine(...)
engine.execute(DropTable(MyModel.__table__))
engine.execute(CreateTable(MyModel.__table__))
...of course, this barfs the first time I run it as the table
well the easiest is mytable.drop(engine, checkfirst=True).
The check is not within the DropTable construct, which represents just the
actual DROP TABLE statement.If you were using DropTable directly you'd call
engine.has_table(tablename) first to check for it.

Hmm, but both mysql and postgres (I suspect others do too, but I haven't checked) have
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS statements so you don't need to do any checking. That
feels like it should be supported by the DropTable construct, what am I missing?
oh,

I'm doing engine.execute('drop table if exists %s' + table.name) in the
