Tom,
Thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately, I thought to myself "why
not drop the db in single mode under database postgres", which I did,
and which worked, and thus, I can no longer produce the error, nor can
I query the "phantom" table as you suggested. I can say that when I
tried to vacuum the table, it told me:
backend> vacuum annual_data_gwreplace
ERROR: relation "annual_data_gwreplace" does not exist
STATEMENT: vacuum annual_data_gwreplace
I restored, and now, I *think* things are going OK.
Thanks again,
r.b.
