RE: Table Drop Error

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the mail, there is no entries in pg_depend as it returns " DELETE 0"

But the table is not getting dropped.

Thanks

It's not really a great idea to go dropping catalog rows without knowing exactly what you're doing, which I gather you don't.
However ... are there pg_depend entries with refobjid=49179 ?
