Script terminates even though ON_ERROR_STOP not set - Mailing list pgsql-admin

I have an admin script that drops a schema and then recreates it (quick
way to refresh from backup). However, if the schema doesn't exist, the
drop errors, as you would expect. The next SQL command, the schema
create, is never executed.

I do not have ON_ERROR_STOP set so why is this happening? I don't want
to split down to two calls of psql if possible, which is the present
work-around. Would prefer to solve the problem.

Thanks,

Brad
