I had a m/c with Postgres 7.2 and huge amount of data. on Power failure and restart of the m/c pgsql refused connect to any of the database. Being an invoice i took a tar of the data dir. I tried reinstalling PGSQL and copied the data dir to the same dir where the new data is being stored. ie cp /backup/pgsql/data /var/lib/pgsql/data
When i connect to the old database i am able to connect but when i do a \d to list the tables i get no relations found. Also when i do select * from a table i am able to get the structure but it has no records in it. WHen i check the same info in pg_database to check if the old database entry is present i dont find it. Can someone help me as to how to recover my data??? Basically what i feel is update the pg_tables.
