Hi,
dropping a table fails in interbase if there are existing dependensies for the table, i.e. if a view is using the table.

Executing such a query with the isql tool I get:

SQL> DROP TABLE SONGS;
Statement failed, SQLCODE = -607

unsuccessful metadata update
-cannot delete
-COLUMN ARTIST
-there are 1 dependencies


But executing the same query via php's ibase_query() returns TRUE :

var_dump(ibase_query($dbhandle, 'DROP TABLE SONGS'));

> bool(true)


Beside 4.3.0-pre1 I've just tested this with 4.0.6 and found the same behavior.
