Dr. Düster,

I found that with my current PostgreSQL the DROP TABLE command gets rid of
the sequence (%s_ogc_fid_seq), but that the failure of the DROP SEQUENCE
command following it was triggering a rollback of the DROP TABLE command.
I changed around the DeleteLayer() code a bit, and now things seem to work.

Of course, any layers that were half deleted might need to be cleaned up as
you suggest.

Best regards,
