Oops. That's a detail I left out. I can only reproduce this problem so far
in PGAdmin. I couldn't reproduce the error in psql or in a linked table in
MSAccess. This is what leads me to wonder if a system table is screwed up.
PGAdmin must be looking at system tables behind the scenes to figure out all
of the info on tables and field names, etc.
Since dropping the schema, the database, and even the "postgres" maintenance
database doesn't fix the problem, I was wondering if something could be
frelled up in template0 or template1. And I'm scared to mess with those.
Though if there is a safe way to regenerate those, I'm perfectly willing to
nuke them, too.
