Would you look at pg_class in particular (file 1259) and confirm that it contains only names of Postgres system catalogs and indexes, no tables of your own? If so, I think the evidence is pretty strong that this database was in process of being created. A DB that had actually gotten used at all would have more entries in pg_class. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
