@sushantdhiman I think the command sequelize db:drop must add IF EXISTS;

[sdepold]

PRs are welcome :)

Has anything been done on adding these? At present this is the only thing(s) stopping me from using sequelize in my companies project.

sequelize db:create should have support for IF NOT EXISTS as a flag --if-not-exists

[elliotsabitov]

I also think that this feature would be very helpful.

[nicholaswagner]

Hahaha.. I also would love to see this feature. 👍

[sushantdhiman]

Hi Cesar,

I agree :) In fact I actually created a ticket for that some time ago (as you have already seen).
The first step would be a PR for the sequelize core which adds the respective queries (as this is currently not implemented). I'd assume that this is fairly easy, but I'm not entirely sure. Once the core supports something like sequelize.createDatabase and sequelize.dropDatabase we can add the stuff to the CLI. This basically means, it would be necessary to add another key value pair here:

https://github.com/sequelize/cli/blob/master/lib/tasks/db.js#L81

[cesarandreu]

Oh, I completely forgot about that. I'll take a look, sounds good.

[anthonator]

Would love this. Does a ticket need to be opened at sequelize proper for adding sequielize.createDatabase and sequelize.dropDatabase?

[sdepold]

Hm, could not harm, though this ticket might be good enough already
