ok I updated the rows by relname individually so I could limit issues
should I screw it up.

I can now get a dump of the db but still cannot drop the two tables I
added.  I get a different message now :

elevating=# \d diag_logs;                                       Table "diag_logs"Column  |          Type          |

and

elevating=# drop table test_types;

I can find no reference to these oids anywhere.

I wasgonig to restart postmaster incase something is cached but I hate
to since I don't know if it will restart properly.

TIA
