That error suggests that you're using some client-side tool that hasn't
been updated for 9.0 yet. pg_database.datconfig is no more.
In a quick test here, 8.4 psql is able to connect to a 9.0 database.
I don't see an error from \l, although it's entirely possible that
some other backslash commands might fall over as a result of expecting
datconfig to be there. I don't have pgAdmin handy to try, but if you
are using a pre-9.0 version then you should definitely update it.
