There is no pretty option for this one, and the intent is for the user to be able to input a table and trigger to get the CREATE TRIGGER statement. Not sure how drop_first fits in here; we’re not dropping or creating triggers.
Sorry, sometimes my fingers don't obey my brain, I wrote one thing thinking another.
In a multi tenant world this feature will be cool for clone or sync ddl of two schemas. So, if I’m creating a new schema the way you did works but if both exists and I want to update some ddls of a schema, sometimes I have to DROP and CREATE or returned command should have CREATE OR REPLACE, depending on what ddl you are doing.
If you try to create a trigger but it already exists, you’ll get an exception, so you can emit a DROP IF EXISTS before CREATE of that trigger. For this that param drop_first would be.
I know you are doing only trigger ddl rigth now but I think we would have this kind of functions for tables, constraints, triggers, domains and so on, then all of them should work the same way, and for this a drop_first or if_exists would be good.
