+Without a dialect and with ``Dialect.MYSQL``, ``DROP FOREIGN KEY name`` and
+``DROP CHECK name`` expose the target through ``AlterExpression.getConstraintName()``.
+``Dialect.MARIADB`` accepts the named FOREIGN KEY form; MariaDB has no ``DROP CHECK``.
+Other dialects drop constraints with ``DROP CONSTRAINT``. A parenthesized
+``DROP FOREIGN KEY (...)`` keeps the legacy column-list form. Inspect
 ``getOperation()`` for ``DROP_FOREIGN_KEY`` or ``DROP_CHECK``. Identifier
 quotes are preserved, and changing the name changes both SQL renderers.
 These named targets do not populate the legacy ``getPkColumns()`` list.
