How do you know the create is never executed? Are you looking for
the schema and not finding it? How are you looking? Or is there
an error message? What is it?

Are you doing the drop and create in the same transaction? If so,
then the drop statement's failure is preventing subsequent statements
in that transaction from executing. If that's not the problem then
please post a self-contained test case so we can see exactly what
you're doing.

How do you know ON_ERROR_STOP isn't set? Could it be set in
a .psqlrc file? What does \set show?
