[ADMIN] change of table name - any help

[chakkara rangarajan]

Hi All, We have a development server running OS – Linux, 2.4.20-openmosix-r4 DB – postgresql 7.3   We have a table ctcert_name under postgres DB(postgres schema and postgres user is the owner). Suddenly, this object started missing from the DB (I am the only Person who connects to that server and did not drop/renamed it). When I tried to recreate the same table, the system threw me back an error, saying that “postgres.ctcert_name” already exists. I am neither able to drop or rename the table.   Can somebody please tell me, what cud have gone wrong and is the error is reproduceable? What is the solution for this kind of problem. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. Rgds --Ranga
