Hi folks. I've just FUBAR'd one of my databases so I dropped it and and then recreated it from a pg_dump taken at 1am today. Everything went fine with no errors or warning while recreating everything, but now one of my selects doesn't work. A quick google and scan of the postgresql hasn't helped. My other databases within the same server are all working fine.
