you put a table name into a double quotes which means that the table was created with a lower-case name. so you have to put the same double quotes when dropping it as well: drop table "tb" <= that should work if that wasn't what you intended to do (why would you want a table name in a lower case?) then avoid putting double quotes in the future, the stuff gets created in the upper case by default. > > Do you have any idea what could be wrong?
