relation vs table... - Mailing list pgsql-general

I don't know what Postgres considers a relation and had no intention of
creating one when piping my schema to it... I always DROP TABLE before
CREATE TABLE, so here are the ERRORS emitted when building the database:

    3:ERROR:  table "country" does not exist
    6:ERROR:  table "customer" does not exist
   11:ERROR:  table "product" does not exist
   15:ERROR:  table "license" does not exist
   19:ERROR:  table "enduser" does not exist
   24:ERROR:  table "orders" does not exist
   29:ERROR:  table "enduser_license" does not exist
   33:ERROR:  table "item" does not exist
   37:ERROR:  Relation "product_version" does not exist
   38:ERROR:  table "product_version" does not exist
   43:ERROR:  table "ordered_item" does not exist

but each and every one of these was created via CREATE TABLE

I don't understand why Postgres thinks I am creating a relation _and_ I
don't know what it considers a relation to be. Create stmts follow:
