The fix is easy; catch the exception and ignore it. All unit tests still pass with this modification, and this also allows sql-sync to work when the target database exists and is empty.

If no one has any issues with this, I will commit it.

I'm hesitant to add this so late in the cycle. If it were local to a command, I might go for it. maybe we do this right after 7.x opens?

Here is a fix for sql-conf only. This will still allow sql-sync to work after an sql-drop. Unit tests are running right now; I expect they will all pass.

This looks fine, pending green tests

All green; committed.

Setting to 'postponed' to reconsider #0 in Drush-8.x-7.x.

What do you think about putting this into 7.x-5.x-dev? The situation is quite annoying to get out of, as you can't use Drush on the target, and you can't sql-sync over the target. The workaround is to delete the db completely and then use --create-db, or copy your database configuration into your alias record. :(

All tests passed, so committed to 7.x-5.x. Back to 'postponed' until 8.x-7.x.
