Description

When this option is selected, DROP and CREATE statements are used instead of ALTER, and conditional DROP statements are added to CREATE statements, for the following objects:

• Views
• Stored Procedures
• Functions
• Extended Properties
• DDL Triggers
• DML Triggers

Note that if you select this option, the Add object existence checks option will automatically be selected, as this is required to make a functioning script.

Using this option may require additional database objects to also be dropped and recreated if those other objects depend on the selected objects; these operations will be added to the script automatically if dependencies are included.
