Re: Drop database/create database broken in 7.4?

John

check to see if the objects are in the template1 database which just gets copied 100% to the target db.

Subject: [GENERAL] Drop database/create database broken in 7.4?

Guys,

I'm running PG 7.4 on Ubuntu Breezy for Ruby on Rails development. One of
the things I ofter have to do is rebuild the database...for which I have a
script that I've created to do it in one step.

I've noticed some oddities. The script connects to template1, drops the
target database, creates the target database, and the rebuilds the tables.
However, two specific tables and sequences are not dropped, although the
drop command completes successfully.

For example, here's the error reproduced manually:

dailystatus=> \d
List of relations
Schema | Name | Type | Owner
--------+-----------------+----------+--------
public | garages | table | wellsj
public | garages_id_seq | sequence | wellsj
public | trucks | table | wellsj
public | trucks_id_seq | sequence | wellsj
public | sites | table | wellsj
public | sites_id_seq | sequence | wellsj
public | statuses | table | wellsj
public | statuses_id_seq | sequence | wellsj
public | users | table | wellsj
public | users_id_seq | sequence | wellsj
(10 rows)

dailystatus=> \c template1
You are now connected to database "template1".
template1=> drop database dailystatus;
DROP DATABASE
template1=> create database dailystatus;
CREATE DATABASE
template1=> \c dailystatus
You are now connected to database "dailystatus".
dailystatus=> \d
List of relations
Schema | Name | Type | Owner
--------+--------------+----------+--------
public | sites | table | wellsj
public | sites_id_seq | sequence | wellsj
public | users | table | wellsj
public | users_id_seq | sequence | wellsj
(4 rows)

dailystatus=>

Anyone know what might be happening? I'm at a loss.

Thanks!
John
