DROP TABLE Appears to Fail

   I cannot recall issuing a DROP TABLE command from psql that did not work,
but seem to have this as a new experience.

   When I look at the database table list with '\d' I see

public | station_type                              | table    | rshepard
public | station_type_statype_seq                  | sequence | rshepard

and I want to drop and recreate these with a typo fixed. But, the drop
commands do not appear to work:

# drop table station_type

# \d

  public | station_type                              | table    | rshepard
  public | station_type_statype_seq                  | sequence | rshepard

   I fail to see what I'm doing incorrectly and would appreciate a clue stick
to set me on the proper path.

TIA,

Rich
