DROP INDEX doesn't seem to work

Description

I’m trying to run DROP INDEX, but it doesn’t seem to work.

When I log in using psql and run DROP INDEX 'my_index_...';, it works, but when I run the same command in pgcli, it’s asking me to confirm the “destructive” command, but when I run \di again, the index is still there

And it’s not a refresh issue, because even when I disconnect and reconnect, the index is still there

Thanks for getting back to us. Feel free to reopen if this happens again. 👍

OK, so I tried again, and I’m not sure what’s happening, but it works now, sorry 🙁

Maybe it was a quoting issue? Because I think I was using single quotes before, but now it’s giving me an error when I use single quotes, and it drops the index when I use double quotes.

So, I’m going to close this now, sorry again if I was too quick to open this issue (but yesterday, I didn’t get any errors and I thought it worked and I re-deployed our environment, only for it to fail after 20 minutes because DROP INDEX hadn’t worked before)

I will update here in case it happens again
