A couple of years ago I called my ISP, who also provided my land-line, and told them I was changing to a new ISP and was dropping all of their services. To do this they wanted me to tell them the password to their web site for authentication. The thing is they wanted the original password that they assigned and I had long since forgotten. I tried to explain that I was calling from the same phone I wanted dropped and their was no way I could fake that, plus they could call me back and see that it was the same phone. But no, I had to log into their web site and send them an email from the ISP account, (which I just had forwarded to gmail anyway), requesting the services be dropped. To be fair I didn't have many problems with the company other than that.

RE: ---DROP
Although it could be sabotage, I am guessing it is test code that is used to either drop a bunch of temp tables, or drop regular tables before recreating them. Probably the only way to tell for sure is to look at all the SQL files in foo.FilePath and see where the "---DROP" comments are.
