Theoretically, you can do this manually, but there's a number of things
you need to look at. Your best bet is to read through
AlterTableNamespace in
http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/src/backend/commands/tablecmds.c?rev=1.176
and see what it's doing.
It's always a bit dangerous mucking about with the system catalogs, so I
wouldn't recommend this for a production system.
If you do code up something that takes all those tables into account
it'd be good to share it with the community. If nothing else, one of the
core coders might tell you how risky it actually is.
