DROP TABLE Fails to Be Executed
Problem
DROP TABLE fails to be executed in the following scenarios:
- A user runs the \dt+ command using gsql and finds that the table_name table does not exist. When the user runs the CREATE TABLE table_name command, an error message indicating that the table_name table exists is displayed. When the user runs the DROP TABLE table_name command, an error message indicating that the table_name table does not exist is displayed. In this case, the table_name table cannot be recreated.
- A user runs the \dt+ command using gsql and finds that the table_name table exists in the database. When the user runs the DROP TABLE table_name command, an error message indicating that the table_name table does not exist is displayed. In this case, the table_name table cannot be recreated.
Possible Causes
The table_name table exists on some nodes only.
Troubleshooting Method
In the preceding scenarios, if DROP TABLE table_name fails to be executed, run DROP TABLE IF EXISTS table_name to successfully drop table_name.
