try:
DROP TABLE "MULTIPOLYGON";

That should do it.
(pardon the top post).

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference: 3429
Logged by: James White
Email address: jbw20032(at)earthlink(dot)net
PostgreSQL version: 8.2.3
Operating system: debian etch amd64
Description: table named MULTIPOLYGON
Details:

I accidentally created a table name multipolygon with the typo:

ogr2ogr -f "PostgreSQL" -nln sw_watersheds -nln MULTIPOLYGON
PG:dbname=swgap USGSwatersheds.shp

Using the \dt command I get a line

public | MULTIPOLYGON | table | postgres

However with this command

swgap=# \d multipolygon
Did not find any relation named "multipolygon".
swgap=# \dt multipolygon
No matching relations found.

I cannot drop this table
