> As I said before, your position seems reasonable. I've also got a couple of reasonable complaints about IF EXISTS out there. But there is little interest in changing the status quo with regards to the promises that IF EXISTS makes. And even with my less constrained views I find that doing anything but returning an error to a user that issues CREATE SCHEMA on a database for which they lack CREATE privileges is of limited benefit. Would I support a well-written patch that made this the new rule? Probably. Would I write one or spend time trying to convince others to write one? No.
