Hi, when dbt runs for a incremental+append it always drops the temporary tables that are used for full refreshes. Even if its not going to use them.
In my system, I have scheduled incremental runs of dbt that run frequently updating incremental+append tables. Whenever I do a full refresh (concurrently), the scheduled run drops the tables of the full refresh causing it to crash.
This PR stops that, by making the incremental+append runs not drop tables.
I see there have been a few other issues similar to this, but this seems like an easy minimal way to fix the issue.
Thanks
