This is going to need a lot more information to get an answer. In the
meantime I am going to assume when you say play you mean:

http://www.playframework.org/

My guess is you will find an answer sooner using the mailing list for
the above:

You're better off asking the Play! framework people.

If you want to investigate it from the database side, set
log_statement='all' in postgresql.conf, reload or restart PostgreSQL,
and run your test. Now examine the logs and trace what the framework
did. Check to see if:

- It ever connects to PostgreSQL at all. You might be using an in-memory
h2 or derby instance and just think you're using PostgreSQL

- It ever inserts any data

- It ever commits its transactions

If you confirm that it's getting its data into PostgreSQL, you then need
to look and see if it's deleting it again by checking the log for DELETE
and TRUNCATE statements.

It could also be re-creating your tables every time it runs. Check for
"CREATE TABLE" statements.

Yes it is connect and insertion and udation and deletion is taking place normally but the proble of table drop occurs when I make any changes in my models in play

Please reply to the mailing list (reply all) not to me directly.

If Play framework is issuing a DROP TABLE, then you need to ask for help with the Play people. PostgreSQL has no way of knowing that you don't want the DROP TABLE your framework asks for.
