Re: pg_attribute file in PostgreSQL 9.0

Thanks a lot I have found file I needed let's hope I will be able to
fix the problem now as I cannot connect to the database because I get
'catalog is missing 1 attribute for relation 2662' which I hope to be
able to repair by getting the pg_attribute file from another db.
