Try issuing the DELETE via EXECUTE --- you're getting burnt by plan caching. But actually, do you really want something as destructive as DELETE for an existence probe? I'd try PERFORM 'bar'::text::regclass; and see if that throws an error. (The double cast is important here, so that you get a runtime lookup not a compile-time one.) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
