Hi all, I am trying to delete a record which had one of the fields as oid. I was able to delete all the records except for 3. I tried: select lo_unlink(64445) from tablename And then: delete from tablename where id=1; it worked But for 3 records the delete command goes in hang. on executing: select lo_unlink(67787) from tablename it gives: lo_unlink ----------- -1 -1 (2 rows) and on deleting with the delete command it goes on hang. I want to drop the same table but can't do that either. I want to create another table with the same name. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Rai _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
