Hi Tom,

I didn't receive any warnings upon entering the postgres server.

My client version is psql (PostgreSQL) 8.3.5.
My database server version is EnterpriseDB 8.3.0.12 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 4.1.0

Would it make a difference?

You're apparently trying to use an 8.3 psql with an 8.2 or older server.
It should have warned you when you started it, like so:

WARNING:  You are connected to a server with major version 8.2,
but your psql client is major version 8.3.  Some backslash commands,
such as \d, might not work properly.

> Even in phpPgAdmin, I could not check the description of the table.

... and I'll bet your phpPgAdmin is out of sync too.

As of 8.4, psql's \d commands work with a range of older server
versions, but in every preceding release they are quite
version-specific.  I don't know the exact story on cross-version
compatibility for phpPgAdmin, but it sounds like it's version-specific
as well.

                       regards, tom lane
