Hi. I had to re-install Postgres and I was wondering how to do I get the old OID numbers (which have all my databases) incorporated into the fresh installation? I tried just putting the old "base" directory in, but it doesn't work. Is there some other way to do this or is it even possible at all?
 
Please..any suggestions. Otherwise I lose my database data.
 
Thanks,
Robert
