Bug Report

Describe the current, buggy behavior

The first example in the wp db export docs includes the switch --add-drop-table

# Export database with drop query included
$ wp db export --add-drop-table
Success: Exported to 'wordpress_dbase-db72bb5.sql'.

However the switch is not included in the options section of the docblock.

Describe how other contributors can replicate this bug

See https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/db/export/

Describe what you would expect as the correct outcome

Add the switch to the options section

This example looks like mistake to me because even without that flag, SQL dump has DROP TABLE IF EXISTS. May be it should be removed.

@swissspidy See above comment.

Hmm apologies, I missed this conversation here.

add-drop-table is indeed the default in mysqldump via the --opt flag (which is enabled by default). See https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.4/en/mysqldump.html#option_mysqldump_opt

It's useful when you do e.g. wp db export --skip-opt --add-drop-table though.

I was perhaps a bit overly quick to merge #263. I realized we don't mention all the other mysqldump options in the docs, only the ones relevant for WP-CLI itself. So I think we should remove it again but make the docs and examples clearer what's for mysqldump and what's for WP-CLI.
