Hi All,

I've got an issue that I've been trying to track down some results to.
I've noticed that on a recent PostgreSQL server that I've been working
on has a few relations that do not exist:

select relname, relnamespace, reltype from pg_class where relname ~*
'sql_';
relname | relnamespace | reltype
-------------------------+--------------+---------
sql_features | 16977 | 17071
sql_implementation_info | 16977 | 17076
sql_languages | 16977 | 17081
sql_packages | 16977 | 17086
sql_sizing | 16977 | 17091
sql_sizing_profiles | 16977 | 17096
(6 rows)

These tables are in the pg_class table, but no where on any PostgreSQL
server that I've been able to look at have these tables been created.
I've been working with 7.4.1 and 7.4.2 versions, and have even initdb'd
a couple of databases only to find that they are not getting created
even though they are being listed in the pg_class table.

I've been working with a series of scripts that floats over the
pg_class table to find a listing of all tables that exist. That was when
I noticed that these ones did not.

Has anyone else run into this problem?, is it safe to remove these
tables from the pg_class table or is it safe to create the tables
themselves?

These tables are part of the schema INFORMATION_SCHEMA. Have a look
at:

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SQL_FEATURES;

I suggest you read up on the information_schema.

You're probably forgetting to specify the schema name.
information_schema isn't in the default search path ...
