Dropping columns results in duplicate inferred migrations

[andrew-farries]

Dropping columns outside of a pgroll migration results in a duplicate inferred migration in the pgroll.migrations table.

To reproduce:

In a fresh Postgres instance:

• initialize pgroll:

pgroll init

• create a table

create table foo(a serial primary key, b text)

• drop a column:

alter table foo drop column b

• view the pgroll.migrations table:

select * from pgroll.migrations order by created_at desc

Actual behaviour:

The pgroll.migrations table contains two entries for the inferred column drop:

+--------+--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+----------------------------+----------------------------+--------------------+------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

+--------+--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Expected behaviour:

There is exacly one inferred migration corresponding to the column drop.
