1) Where does your e-mail subject line "Must re-connect to see tables" relate to the import?
I do the import and then \dt return no relations. I must re-connect via \c in order to see the tables. (According to the prompt, I was still connected to the database.)
2) Does the larger data.sql file have a "create database" line or any other construct at the beginning of the file that would cause it to NOT insert rows into database test?
data.sql is an untouched dump of a database from PostgreSQL 9.5.12.
The import seems to have worked. I just need another \c after the \i.
