Restoring template1

Hi there.

I had a weak moment and accidentally ran a dump restore script on
template1 instead of proper database. So my template1 is now polluted
with many tables, sequences and the like.

Is there a way to restore a pristine template1? I haven't done any
modifications to it, so I'd be good with the one distributed with
default installation. Is it safe to DROP DATABASE template1 and recreate
it with dump from different cluster? (Currently I have 7.4.1 available
on other machine.)

Thanks for any advice. It's not critical, but I'm too lazy to clear
everything manually ;-).

Hello list... I'm developing an adventure game in Python (which of course is lots of fun). One of the features is the ability to save games and restore the saves later. I'm using the pickle module to implement this. Capturing current program state and neatly replacing it later is proving to be trickier than I first imagined, so I'm here to ask for a little direction from wiser minds than mine! When my program initializes, each game...

Hello, I've accidently created a whole bunch of tables and sequences in template1. I didn't actually want the information in template1 but with the slip of a key my script piped all the commands into it and now all the info is there, doh!. Problem is now that I try to create the DB I want, all the view and structures are already there.

Hi I have a problem with the restoring of a database which uses tsearch2. I made a backup as discribed in 'tsearch-v2-intro' on the tsearch2 page. Now i'm trying to restore it into a testdatabase.

I get errors like: psql:restoretest.out:28223: ERROR: copy: line 1, Cannot insert a duplicate key...

I have two machines between which I exchange dumps a lot. On the first (Windows/cygwin), pgsql was set up with "Administrator" as the main superuser - who owns all schemas in template0 and template1. On the second machine (Linux), "postgres" is pgsql's main superuser. On whatever machines I do "createdb", the owner of the schemas in template0/1 is copied over to the schemas in the new database, even when specifying the owner parameter...

Hello, Every so often, I'm asked to help people recover data from tables that were either dropped or where to much data was DELETEed. The complications related to restoring data are a problem. The SAS users are laughing because they can (to a certain extend) easily go back to an earlier SAS table by simply starting dsm. Of course, a flat file table is different than a relational table; but still, the trouble related to restoring DB2...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
