"Updating the catalog tables directly via SQL"? Good luck making that
work. If you ever get it to work at all, it'll require a pile of hacks
that will make pg_migrator look like paradise.
(Which is not to say that pg_migrator isn't a hack; it surely is.
But it looks like the least painful approach available.)
