IF EXISTS
Supported by ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
                                                        For idempotent execution of DDL scripts, the useful IF EXISTS clause is supported by jOOQ, and emulated using an anonymous, procedural block if possible.
                                                    
// Drop an index
create.dropIndexIfExists("index").execute();
