Well, my problem was that a downgrade had to be made to the only Solaris8
SPARC back to Solaris7, and postgres broke. So I recompiled it, in a new
directory, and copied the data directory to the new postgres instaltion
directory, but when I connect with pgaccess to and db, I see the postgres
tables (like pg_aggregate, pg_group, pg_scripts, pg_trigger, etc). Did I do
something wrong? Any way to fix it?
