| Subj: | | Dropping non-existent tables! |
| |
| From: | | Julie Sorrell |
I have a database which has 3 tables which are listed in the dictionary, but do not actually exist. I know how this happened - a
copy from a tape backup failed for these three tables, and hence they seem to have been entered in the dictionary, but the data
didn't get restored. However, now I want to get rid of these tables, but I am unable to drop them. I just get an error "A table
listed in the Dictionary is not present", and Queryman gives this a number 3668.
I'm currently ploughing through the .pdf manuals, and Brian Marshall's books, to try and find out what to do, but has anyone got
any ideas how I get rid of these tables. I would try restoring them from tape again, but the backup runs over 5 Exabyte tapes, and
it is so slow!
TIA
