Hello and thanks again for your quick response. I did as requested -
select id, name from ignite.COND
/* found that one of the instances had an ID of 26 in the COND table. */
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME LIKE '%_26'
/* this found 64 tables with table_name like _26. */
So before I go crazy and delete a bunch of tables and the COND record, plz verify that I need to drop all 64 tables and then delete the one COND record for the instance.
