Aw, come on, it's a test DB, no need of resignation. Backups are taken daily so there was no data loss (not that it would matter on test db). Actually, the problem started with a script to drop tables for a data refresh, so data was not useful anyway.

Restoring the DB worked great, I had hope there was another way, however I tried running catalog (even with the db without any users on) and it still failed.

I appreciate everyone's imput on this.

Mark, I saw that note just a few minutes too late. I thought of disabling triggers, but I thought it would introduce inconsistency into de DB.

thanks!
