Partitioning using these techniques will work well with up to perhaps a hundred partitions; don't try to use many thousands of partitions." >From here: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/ddl-partitioning.html You are not showing how you are calling the DROP and SELECT statements but I thinking it is being done in a way that the SELECT statement still thinks the dropped table exists.
