I have no idea what that does, but here is the output:

 nspname |           relname            | relkind
---------+------------------------------+---------
 public  | Acquisition_pkey             | i
 public  | Acquisitions                 | r
 public  | Acquisitions_id_seq          | S
 public  | Acquisitions_location_id_key | i
 public  | ViewAcquisitions             | v
 public  | viewacquisitionsnew          | v


What I see is a bunch of stuff related to the Acquisitions table,
including a relation for the primary key, which was created back when
the table was named "Acquisition" (not plural), and two different views
which draw on Acquisitions, both of which appear to be fully
functional.

Thanks for you reply --

Glen
