Can not drop/change a view

Question

I've got a view which accidentally (don't know how) lost it's name.

Now I can not drop it any longer because pgadmin III throws an error Error: syntax-error at the end of input Line 1:DROP VIEW public

Trying to rename it causes the error Error: syntax-error at "to" Line 1:ALTER TABLE RENAME TO NewName

The view definition is

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW  AS 
 SELECT ...
   FROM table a;


ALTER TABLE OWNER TO postgres;
GRANT ALL ON TABLE  TO postgres;

Answer 1

Made a backup of the database, restrored it.

In the new database the invalid, nameless view has been dropped by pgadmin.
