  }

  // When dropping a field that is part of a composite primary key MySQL
  // automatically removes the field from the primary key, which can leave the
  // table in an invalid state. MariaDB 10.2.8 requires explicitly dropping
  // the primary key first for this reason. We perform this deletion
  // explicitly which also makes the behavior on both MySQL and MariaDB
  // consistent with PostgreSQL.

    ->findPrimaryKeyColumns($table);
