The goal is to undo a single DDL statement (e.g., dropping a column) on a DigitalOcean Managed Database cluster while keeping all data modifications that occurred after that change. Currently the platform only provides point‑in‑time recovery and full‑cluster backup restores, which replace the entire dataset and terminate existing connections, making a select
