I don't understand, you wrote that you installed DSpace. How did you
do that without running one of those commands?

I'm sorry, I can't advise you in case of Windows, but it seems to me
highly unlikely that it has anything to do with DSpace or Postgres.

As far as the database is concerned, one thing that ocurrs to me is
that you should double-check that you're connecting to the database as
the user who runs dspace. Postgres uses system user accounts for roles
and I don't know how that works exactly on Windows. If you're
connecting as a different user than your original dspace user, you
will see only the postgres database. Also check that the original
dspace user wasn't deleted and recreated, it would be a problem if
Postgres stores the database in his home directory (I don't know if it
does, check the Postgres manual for Windows).

After you make sure, try to run the "psql" command as the dspace user
and list the tables:
dspace=> \dt
It should list about 46 tables.

There's no such thing as existing DSpace without the database. There
are 2 things that make up your instance - the assetstore and the
database. The assetstore is not really usable without the database
because you don't have the proper filenames. DSpace is just the
program you install to access the database and assetstore. So if you
lose the database, you may as well start from the very beginning.
That's why it's important to do backups of the database and
assetstore, the DSpace code can be reinstalled easily.
