Tom Lane:
Your trace shows no sign of having stopped the postmaster before
re-initdb'ing or starting it again afterwards. I think you've got some
unholy combination of old and new tables inside the postmaster. It'd be
a good idea to try again with those steps included. (I'm not sure just
how Windows handles deletion of directories that are still in use, but
on Unix a pg_ctl stop would no longer suffice to get rid of the old
postmaster, because after the rm -rf you can no longer get to the
directory in which the old postmaster is running. You might be best
advised to reboot.)
Thank you. That did it. May I suggest adding this:
