Hi All -

I have been trying to drop 2000 tables using a script. 
I am getting the following error message. I have the value set 
for max_locks_per_transaction = 100 . Error message is as follows


WARNING:  out of shared memory
ERROR:  out of shared memory
HINT:  You might need to increase max_locks_per_transaction.

** Error **

ERROR: out of shared memory
SQL state: 53200
Hint: You might need to increase max_locks_per_transaction.



is  your script bracketed by BEGIN;  .  COMMIT;   ?

if so, you might consider breaking it up into smaller chunks, like   
BEGIN;  (drop about 50 tables);  COMMIT;   (repeat)
