Research direction

Start by locating the existing SQL Server ONLINE index creation support and compare how index dropping and alteration are represented. Read issues #20692 and #22451 for the related alteration and column-alteration context; done means ONLINE support covers the requested drop and alteration operations.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

area-sqlserver

We currently support the SQL Server ONLINE index option, but only for index creation. We can also support this when dropping indexes, and when altering them (not yet implemented, #20692).

Also look at column alteration as in #22451.
