Re: drop trigger if exists?

There is no mention of it in the documentation, I know this wasn't available in the older versions due to the lack of SHOW and INFORMATION_SCHEMA details available.

Can you get drop trigger to work without the if exists?

There was a swtich from triggers being associated with tables directly to them being associated to the database. Therefore the old drop syntax needed a table prefix where the new can have a database prefix (this is not required if you are using the database it's attached to).

I'm running 5.0.7 here so I can't check right now.
