sync tries to always create a table

See original GitHub issue

Hi there.

following the examples to work on a small side-project I have.

if I use

export class SessionModel extends Model {
  static table = "sessions";
  static timestamps = true;
  static fields = {
    id: {
      primaryKey: true,
      autoIncrement: true,
    },
    startTimestamp: DATA_TYPES.INTEGER,
    endTimestamp: DATA_TYPES.INTEGER,
    createdAt: DATA_TYPES.INTEGER,
    price: DATA_TYPES.STRING,
    category: DATA_TYPES.STRING,
    subCategory: DATA_TYPES.STRING,
    state: DATA_TYPES.STRING,
    withUser: DATA_TYPES.STRING,
    notes: DATA_TYPES.STRING,
  };
}

db.link([SessionModel]);

await db.sync({ drop: false /* true */ });

, the first time it runs, it creates the tables and everything is fine. Every time after that, it fails trying to create a table

( logs from my 2 containers, one with the postgres db, and one with the deno api )

If I switch drop to true, it will wipe out everything (after the first time)

I’m sure I’m missing something. How can I make it create the table only when it doesn’t exist??

Thank you.
