In contrib there's a utility oid2name which will give the number/name
mappings for databases and tables.
The reason tables got renamed into numbers was due to rollbacks of
drops or drops followed by creates in the same transaction. I assume
that the plan was to move databases in the same direction (although it
looks like create database and drop database both error when called
within an explicit begin block).
