postgres=# \d pg_class
ERROR:  column "reltriggers" does not exist at character 41
STATEMENT:  SELECT relhasindex, relkind, relchecks, reltriggers, relhasrules,
        relhasoids , reltablespace
        FROM pg_catalog.pg_class WHERE oid = '1259'

Apparently you're using an old version of psql ... but I'm curious to
know just which, because I can't duplicate that exact error display with
any release branch.  Anyway, pg_class.reltriggers is gone in 8.4, but
pre-8.4 psql versions don't know that.

            regards, tom lane
