I have a postgres database named aarons_db
in ubuntu linux. I'm trying to delete a table called pnt
within aarons_db
. To do this, I am using the following command:
DROP TABLE pnt
Unfortunately, this does not appear to drop the table. My best guess is that there is some sort of admin privileges that I have not configured properly. The following shows the database, and commands used to try and drop the table.
What is preventing me from dropping the pnt
table?
There is a similar question here, although the user is running into a cache error, which is not happening in my case.

You need to end every SQL statement with ;
. You didn't do that and thus your statement was not executed at all. Run DROP TABLE pnt;
instead. See e.g. here: Understanding postgres prompts
