#299 "if exists" when dropping a constraint

[Audrien Fontaine]

Hibernate 4.2 changed the ways it generate schema: it will try to delete table and constraint on a empty database. It uses delete table if exists but cannot uses delete constraint if exist as this functionality isn't implemented in HSQLDB.

It would be nice for HSQLDB to support "if exists" when dropping a constraint.

I read the links and your github entry. What is wrong with THIS

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS MYTABLE CASCADE

Does Hibernate need to drop just the constraint, instead of the table?
