Re: DROP TABLE Appears to Fail

Silly question, but did you try it with a semicolon after the drop table?

# drop table station_type;

I've noticed that if you are in the middle of a statement and issue a \ command, psql ignores the SQL you've typed in and just does the \ command.

 I cannot recall issuing a DROP TABLE command from psql that did not work,
but seem to have this as a new experience.

 When I look at the database table list with '\d' I see

public | station_type                              | table    | rshepard
public | station_type_statype_seq                  | sequence | rshepard

and I want to drop and recreate these with a typo fixed. But, the drop
commands do not appear to work:

# drop table station_type

# \d

 public | station_type                              | table    | rshepard
 public | station_type_statype_seq                  | sequence | rshepard

 I fail to see what I'm doing incorrectly and would appreciate a clue stick
to set me on the proper path.

TIA,

Rich
