Most likely cause is that either the user that created the database does not exist
anymore or your permissions got messed up somehow. I've seen similar behaviour
when the user does not exist. You can see who owns the tables by doing
select relname,relowner from pg_class;
Then do
select * from pg_user to figure out which user the relowner corresponds to. If the
user is missing, create a enw one with the required uid.
