    Description

      MariaDB KB doesn't describe the behavior of DROP SERVER IF EXISTS, so I expect it to work like DROP TABLE IF EXISTS. Which means that IF EXISTS should return a warning if the server doesn't exists. However, this is not the case:

      MariaDB [(none)]> DROP SERVER IF EXISTS not_exists;
      		 
      Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
      		 
       
      		 
      MariaDB [(none)]> SHOW WARNINGS;
      		 
      Empty set (0.00 sec)
      		 
       
      		 
      MariaDB [(none)]> DROP SERVER not_exists;          
      ERROR 1477 (HY000): The foreign server name you are trying to reference does not exist. Data source error:  not_exists
