Summary0002993: ddl-utils should not drop tables when it can't update their structure
DescriptionIf ddl-utils detects a situation where it thinks it can't update a table structure, it will simply drop and re-create the table. This could lead to unexpected data loss. Originally the plan was to abort, but it turns out this situation occurs during an upgrade from 3.7 to 3.8:
Data cannot be retained in table sym_node_communication because of the addition of the required column queue

So in this situation we'll create a backup table, (sym_node_communication_), and copy the data from the old table to the backup (sym_node_communication -> sym_node_communication_) and create the new table with the new structure. A warning will be logged and for now it's up to the user to migrate the data from the backup table to the new table and cleanup the backup table.

This may break upgrades from 3.7. This needs to be tested in an upgrade situation, since upgrading from 3.7 causes this:
