What were you doing precisely? When I made a simple table and
then turned it into a view with a rule, dropping the rule
didn't seem to drop the table for me, I could still select
from it, etc after the rule dropped. [I think I probably
misunderstood what you were doing, but...]

create table aa1 (a int);
create rule "_RETaa1" as on select to aa1 do instead
select anum as a from a;
select * from aa1;
drop rule "_RETaa1";
select * from aa1;

seems to work. The first select gives me whatever was in a
and the second gives me anything i inserted into aa1 before
making the rule.
