Can one of the admins verify this patch? To accept patch and trigger a build add comment ".ok\W+to\W+test." |
When `PostgreSQL.prototype.getDropForeignKeys` gets called with duplicated foreign keys, an invalid `ALTER TABLE` statement gets created. This is because the duplicates are mapped to multiple `DROP CONSTRAINT fk_key` SQL actions, e.g.: ```sql -- This will throw an error ALTER TABLE "public"."foo" DROP CONSTRAINT "fk_duplicatedKey", DROP CONSTRAINT "fk_duplicatedKey", DROP CONSTRAINT "fk_duplicatedKey", DROP CONSTRAINT "fk_otherKey" ``` As the `DROP CONSTRAINT` actions are run sequentially, when the first action gets executed by PostgreSQL, the next one (for the same, but already dropped key) will not cause an SQL error thanks to the added IF EXISTS check: ```sql -- This is valid SQL ALTER TABLE "public"."foo" DROP CONSTRAINT IF EXISTS "fk_duplicatedKey", DROP CONSTRAINT IF EXISTS "fk_duplicatedKey", DROP CONSTRAINT IF EXISTS "fk_duplicatedKey", DROP CONSTRAINT IF EXISTS "fk_otherKey" ``` Please note, this is really a hack and we still need to understand why the method in question gets called with duplicated foreign keys in certain conditions.

npm run migrateoperations I have experienced when working on my project. We still need to understand why thegetDropForeignKeysmethod gets called with duplicated foreign keys in certain conditions but I believe ensuring the generated SQL code is valid is still a step in the right direction.Checklist
