I'm baffled as to why this isn't working... I am 'root'. I have full perms and all that stuff. I use these DBs every day. Yesterday, I deleted a table that had FKs because I wanted to change a column name, but couldn't because of the restraint *sigh*. After that I couldn't re-create the table again. So breaking it down to basic level...
