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,
