I'm on a Redhat 5.0 system running PG6.3.1 and I cannot recreate your
problem. I tried 40 create table/drop table's in a row and had no
problem (thank goodness for readline). You might want to try a 'vacuum
analyze;' and try the create again.

'group' is reserved in PGSQL. The developers might have a workaround
for you, but it might just be easier to change the name of the table.
Add a prefix or a suffix i.e. mygroup, user_group, t_group, group_man,
group_t, ...

We are up to 6.3.2 with some patches, you might want to upgrade it could
solve your problem with the table creation.

Not a problem, I'm a Texan and I understand you just fine.
I'll bet you every cent that I have that your English is better than my
Hungarian.

Hope this helps,
