I am encountering a problem with getting the unit tests to run on
Sybase because of cascades of errors originating from failure to drop
a table that is referenced by a FK constraint in another table. When
attempting to drop the people table, I need the SybaseSQLSchemaDropper
to emit SQL like this which first does an ALTER TABLE to remove FK
constraints from all tables which reference people:
344:1> ALTER TABLE managers DROP CONSTRAINT managers_1466289798
344:2> go
345:1> drop table people
345:2> go
346:1>
How should one deal with the situation when the referring tables are
not part of the same metadata collection?

Total Number of Referential Constraints: 1
Details:
-- Number of references made by this table: 0
-- Number of references to this table: 1
-- Number of self references to this table: 0
Formula for Calculation:
Total Number of Referential Constraints
= Number of references made by this table
+ Number of references made to this table
- Number of self references within this table
(2 rows affected, return status = 0)
