Re: Maybe a possible bug in the partitioning code?

Ok I also tried that Tom. Psql returned “Did not find any relations named “‘.temp_my_table_global”

So, I added the code to end of my original script, but there was a typo in it. Now, as this code runs in a transaction block, so I don’t think anything it created should actually be present in the database, but on a subsequent rerunning, I got an error that one of the partition tables actually exists already. However, I cannot see it, nor drop it from the server. The error in the script is: relation “temp_my_second_table_global” already exists, but the system cannot see it in order to drop it, saying “temp_my_second_table_global” does not exist. That’s really a catch-22. Is there a system table where I can look and maybe drop it from there directly?
