Hi all: I have Postgres 6.5.3 installed on Linux... well, sort of. The problem is that the installation in question must be screwed up somewhere, because I can't find the "numeric" type in it (while I can find it in another clean 6.5.3 install), and now I need it for a project. My question is: what do I have to do to create the type in question by hand? I suppose that I have to connect to the "template1" database and edit the pg_* tables... but which ones? Of course, a possible solution would be to dump everything and reinstall Postgres from scratch, but I can't even do a pg_dumpall in it; it tells me: Can not create pgdump_oid table. Explanation from backend: 'ERROR: Relation 'pgdump_oid' already exists'. pg_dump failed on [db_name], exiting (If anybody can explain possible causes for this error, I'd be grateful too). Paulo Jan.
