Hi All, On a newly created server I stupidly restored over the top of the postgres system database using the GUI...(postgresql n00b) and am wondering a couple of things. Firstly, if this database is overwritten, is it detrimental to the running of PostgreSQL? Secondly is it just a simple matter of restoring it using a backup from a different PostgreSQL instance installed elsewhere.
