One possible issue that I see is the lack of explicit options. Given
that you say you have two Postgres clusters on the machine it is
entirely possible that the above command is picking up ENVIRONMENT
variables that are pointing to a database different from the one you
think. Try the command with explicit options, i.e. -p some_port -d
database_name, that you know point to the database you want.
