I've discovered that the database in question was lacking an entry in
pg_database. I took the liberty of inserting a record with what I believe
to be the appropriate info. The problem still persists, however. The
other thing I am noticing is that when I run the \dt comand I get the
"Couldn't find any tables!" error message, but when I run a select * query
I get an appropriate listing of fields for the table, but no records. I
sense that I'm close, but yet so far from restoring tranquility.
Thanks,
Dave
