trouble dropping a table

Hi Everybody,

I have a strange problem:

canon=# \dt *plate*
List of relations
Schema | Name | Type | Owner
--------+---------------------+-------+-------
public | gallo.plate_subject | table | ysu
(1 row)

and I want to get rid of this table. I thought I could

canon=# drop table gallo.plate_subject;
ERROR: table "plate_subject" does not exist
canon=#

and I did this:

canon=# drop table public.gallo.plate_subject;
ERROR: cross-database references are not implemented: "public.gallo.plate_subject"
canon=#

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
