#2935 new enhancement

shp2pgsql: There should be a way to add a delete table statement even when just preparing the DDL

Description

Currently, -p, -a, and -d overwrite one another. It is sometimes useful to be able to specify DDL create with a delete statement.

My personal preference would be to make -d (or something else, -r?) imply adding a drop statement, and not imply importing, and make it error if -a is specified.

-p should first do a

DROP TABLE .. IF EXISTS

In thinking about this more, I think making -p do a DROP may not be the best thing as you might want to get an error if you try to prepare an already loaded table.

So I'm pushing this as I think it needs more thought.
