Once again be careful with what you are doing, and don't blame me if you
create a mess ;)
-1-
PgAdmin ( http://www.pgadmin.org/ ) is a GUI application to manage Postgres
databases - it might be a friendlier option than running direct SQL queries
with 'psql'.
-2-
Before directly manipulation your DB, you can/should back it up with the
following command:
$ pg_dump -U USER DB > galaxy_db.sql
If something does go wrong, you can at least revert the data to a valid state.

I use the following script to replicate the production database to the
development database, and then it's easier to experiment with any SQL command
you want without affecting the production server:
=======
#!/bin/sh
DATE=$(date "+%Y_%m_%d_%H%M%S")
FILE="galaxy_db_prod_to_devel_${DATE}.sql.gz"
DEST=/home/gordon/projects/galaxy_db_backups/
FILE="${DEST}${FILE}"
echo "Dumping Prod-DB to:"
echo " $FILE"
echo "(Enter Galaxyprod Password)"
pg_dump -c -U galaxyprod galaxyprod | sed 's/galaxyprod/galaxydevel/g' | gzip >
"$FILE" || exit 1
echo
echo "Dropping and re-creating Galaxy-Devel database."
echo "press CTRL-C to abort or ENTER to continue."
read
echo "(Enter GalaxyDevel Password)":
zcat "$FILE" | psql -U galaxydevel galaxydevel || exit 1
======================
The "pg_dump -c" will add the SQL commands to drop and re-create the tables, so all
tables in "galaxydevel" database are an exact copy.
