I have two tables, one has a field with a foreign key pointing to the

the following error:
test=# drop table user;
ERROR: "customer_pkey" is an index
I don't think you're being entirely truthful with us, because "user"
is a reserved word. If you'd typed exactly that, you would have
gotten
regression=# drop table user;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "user"
LINE 1: drop table user;
^
You are right, the table name is slightly different, anyway I simply
searched the original table name and replaced it with "user". You will
now be able to reproduce it anyway, because I can't reproduce the
behaviour myself recreating the schema on another cluster.
I'm not certain if this is just pilot error or if there really is
something odd going on, but obfuscating what you're doing doesn't
make it easier to decipher. Please show what you really typed and
what you really got back. psql \d output for the two tables might
be helpful too.
please consider the old psql session, just s/sps_user/user and s/
sps_customer/customer
Here's what you requested:
-bash-3.1$ psql sps_test
