It was one an offline database at the time with only a single user -- so
locking wasn't a concern at the time.

To change the namespace of a table, update the namespace ID for:

pg_class -> of table
pg_type -> of table
pg_class -> index(es) on table
pg_type -> of indexes on table
pg_constraint -> all constraints on table
pg_depend -> dependencies of above objects on the namespace

We didn't have inheritance or the more exotic items, but I seem to
recall the views continued to work as expected with no changes.

Dump and restore gave us what we expected, and the database functions as
expected but that doesn't necessarily mean the above covers all items.
