Preserve Imported Data Files upon SQL DROP

FairCom DB SQL brings many advanced SQL capabilities to application data that was not originally created in SQL. Legacy application tables can be linked to SQL. FairCom DB SQL now defaults to always removing linked physical data and index files when performing a DROP from SQL as expected from SQL standards. However, there are frequently cases where removal of the data file is not appropriate nor expected. Rather, it is best to only remove the SQL system table linkage entry. A new configuration option is available to preserve the physical files.
