Dear All,

Thank you for your emails which were very helpful.
I've finally solved it.

template1 was full of data, presumably somehow from a badly-run dump and restore.
So when I created the new database, that too was full of data from the template.

I ran a clean pg_dump on template1 from my production database and restored it on my test machine, and finally everything is normal.

Thanks again,
Malcolm

I'dd suggest:

pgdumpall --clean > dump.sql     
I'd think he'd be much better off with pg_dump, not pg_dumpall.   
yes, agree. sorry.

pg_dump srcdb | psql destdb

you can add -s as a pg_dump switch if all you want is the schema.
