Need more information Najm - obivously PG is trying to create a type "links"
and failing - do you have anything called "links" in your table definition
or the rest of your database?

Perhaps look in the pg_types table:

select oid,* from pg_types where typname like 'lin%';

Don't go deleting it without knowing what it is though. If your table is
called "links" I'd guess it's fine to delete it, but I'd take a backup first
anyway.

Hi all, I have posted my question since last Thurday and noone has answered it
yet. My problems is that I droped a table using pgaccess from pg_class. Now
If I try to create that table I get the following error: TypeCreate: type
links already defined.
Could some one help me out here.
