>I'm getting this error when tring to remove a table from a database programmatically. How do I delete the relation in code so I can remove the table? This whole database container, back links, front links, belongs to crap is killing me. This routine was supposed to take about 4 hours and it's been 3 days. All I'm trying to do is copy a source database and tables using the COPY TO command and it's been a nightmare. Almost there, but everytime I think that, another one of these errors bites me in the patootie.
