Oracle Database Free

The following can be executed connected as SYS under an Oracle AI Database 26.1 FREE:

create role if not exists demo_role;
select count(*) from dba_roles where role = 'DEMO_ROLE';
drop role if exists demo_role;
select count(*) from dba_roles where role = 'DEMO_ROLE';

The output in SQLcl looks like this:

SQL> create role if not exists demo_role;

Role DEMO_ROLE created.

SQL> select count(*) from dba_roles where role = 'DEMO_ROLE';

  COUNT(*)
----------
         1

SQL> drop role if exists demo_role;

Role DEMO_ROLE dropped.

SQL> select count(*) from dba_roles where role = 'DEMO_ROLE';

  COUNT(*)
----------
         0

However, the DROP ROLE IF EXISTS syntax is not documented in the SQL Language Reference.

Is this a documentation bug?
