eric235u Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 hi all. i notice that when you create a new database using cpanel it creates some odd looking tables. http://stevie.heliohost.org:2082/frontend/x3/psql/index.html my first thought was that my new site had been comprimised but it looks like maybe that's not the case. possible the admins have some type of automagically generated tables for test purposes? it seems quite strange behavior and i am not able to drop the tables. just thought i should mention this in case it is a larger problem. how to reproduce. 1. create new database with cpanel. use the postgresql databases link. 2. via phppgadmin look at the newly created db. 3. in my case there were two tables created that i could not drop. comic owned by dbescom and cadastro owned by doritos_postgres. any tips on what is actually happening most welcome. thanks.

Ashoat Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Do you see one now named "djbob_test2"? Also, what is your database named?
eric235u Posted January 25, 2010 Author Posted January 25, 2010 Do you see one now named "djbob_test2"? Also, what is your database named? hi, i do not see a table or database called djbob_test2. my db is called eric235u_test1. fwiw i can read the data in one of the other tables. i hope that others can not read my data.
Ashoat Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I'm on the line with cPanel about this issue. I'll let you know once they figure something out.

Ashoat Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Okay, the issue is fixed. However, I completely screwed up and dropped all the tables on your account. I hope it's salvageable, as there is nothing I can do to get it back. Sorry

I hope it's salvageable, as there is nothing I can do to get it back. Sorry hi. no problem about dropping my tables. i do frequent backups (like everybody should). here's what i see. 1. when i create a new database it no longer creates the odd unrelated tables. this is good. :-) 2. in my main database, eric235u_test1, there still is one table. it is called 'cadastro'. and it has three rows of data in it that i can select from but i can not drop the table. the owner of the table is 'doritos_postgres'. as a work around i'll just drop the db and start fresh. hey if you guys ever want another part time support assistant just let me know. http://www.linkedin.com/in/echadbourne https://savannah.nongnu.org/people/resume.php?user_id=74395 many thanks for your quick assistance!
