1. did you remember to load data?
2. did someone accidentally delete the data?
3. are you connected to the correct db (I've panic'd before but realized
I was on dev, not production!)?
4. sure that is the right table?

I'm wondering about MVCC-related conditions, which adds a couple
more questions:

5. Did you actually commit the transaction that loaded the rows?
6. Are you doing the SELECT COUNT(*) in a transaction that started
   before the data-loading transaction committed?

            regards, tom lane
