We fixed that around 8.2, but it's really just a cosmetic issue (you'd rather the message was "relation foo does not exist" ...) I don't see any reason to worry. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
