Re: ddl audit trigger

let me put it this way ...

if you shot yourself dead, would you still call 911 and report yourself?

since drop will acquire a ddl lock (loose term), execution will be prevented as execution also needs a lock to stop the underlying object from being modified. If what you want must happen, this will become a classic example of a race condition. Basically first one to get the lock wins, in this case the 'drop' got the lock first.

obviously I could be wrong, but a correction is appreciated. Raj
