How to prevent user from drop column in mysql 8?

@lew 

To prevent users from dropping a column in MySQL 8, you can use the following techniques:

1. Restrict Permissions: You can restrict the permissions of the user to prevent them from dropping columns. Make sure the user does not have the DROP privilege for the table.
2. Enable and Configure Audit Logging: You can enable and configure MySQL's audit logging feature to track drop column statements. This will allow you to monitor any attempts to drop columns and take appropriate action.
3. Use Stored Procedures: You can create stored procedures for modifying table structures instead of allowing direct modification by users. This way, users will have to use the stored procedures provided by the database administrator to make any changes to the table structure.
4. Implement Database Triggers: You can also implement database triggers to prevent users from dropping columns. You can create a trigger that checks for drop column statements and prevents them from executing.

By implementing these techniques, you can prevent users from dropping columns in MySQL 8 and ensure the integrity and security of your database.
