Dear Tom!

The DB_X dropped, so I can't choose it as "actual database".

I tried this in a neutral database:

    drop owned by role_x;

But nothing happened, the error is same.

As I read it have "CASCADE" mode, but I'm afraid to start it, because I don't know what will happen.

It is a really used server, so if I do something wrong, I will killed by my boss... :-(

To complicate the things my coll. renamed this role to "role_x_to_delete", and created a new role_x, and a new db_x database.

So if the PG uses "names" and not identifiers in the background, I will be in trouble...

Thanks
