Hi:

 

After running intoa problem last week where I cannot rename an existing
DB because it's reported to not exist (I can attach to it and query OK,
but rename gives... "database foo does not exist"), I've done a full
dump of the DB and want to delete/recreate it with the backup. But I
can't "dropdb" because "database foo does not exist".

 

What's the course I should take at this point?  I could "rm -r" the DB
root (the piece after the "-D" in pg_ctl commands), but that may screw
things up even worse.  


Again, I have a backup and want to delete the DB, but can't because the
"dropdb" tool says the DB does not exist.

 

v8.2.0 on Linux (and yes, I've requested an upgrade to 8.2.6)
