Postgres drop table syntax error

Question

Postgres 9.3.2 on heroku.

Pretty sure I\'m just being an idiot, but I can\'t seem to figure out why my syntax is wrong.

db=> \\dt
              Li         


        

Answer 1

I had the same error. My database name was very unique and not a reserved keyword. Still needed to wrap the database name with quotation marks

""

Also for those that might forget always add a semicolon ; at the end of the statement, I always forget.
