Hi I just broke my pgsql system a bit. One database doesn't show any tables for a database when using psql but the file containing the data in the pgsql homedir still exists at /var/lib/postgres/data/base/<db>/<table> . Is there a way to just 'tell' the backend about the file or maybe import the file? Thanks ------------------ Sarel Botha [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------ "Debugging? Klingons do not debug.
