Hi

I am running into this issue very randomly. I was thinking it was due to the lack of preconditions. But none of my change logs have any preconditions and liquibase seems to work for the most part. I am using a SpringLiquibaseUpdater class to run liquibase update.

table

This error occurs in the 25th changelog. Previously it was&nbsp;occurring on the 24th changelog. After I dropped the schema

and recreated it, it is now showing up while running the 25th changelog. Can somebody please help me understand the&nbsp;

randomness and fix this issue&nbsp;
