I dumped a 7.0 db on a RedHat box, createdb'd the db on a new debian box sporting 7.1, ftp'd the dumped file and restored. Everything seemed to go fine, except the names of the db and the tables are numeric expressions instead of the actual table names. For instance, a db named mydb containing tables table1 and table2 now appears on the new box as db named 6432466 with tables 6432512 and 6432513. What?? Did I not install postgresql correctly, miss an environment variable or is this how the table names are held in the file system on debian boxes? It is important that I know the file system name for tables as I overwrite certain tables that are imported from a foxpro table and converted using dbf2pg. Any guidance here would be greatly appreciated.
