You're not likely able to recover that table.  To do so would require
completely stopping the system immediately and attempting to perform
filesystem maniuplation to "undelete" the file, or pull back chunks from
the filesystem which contain pieces of the file and attempting to
reconstruct it.

If you've been keeping all WAL since the beginning of the cluster, it's
possible you could recover that way, but you claim to not have any
backups, so I'm guessing that's pretty unlikely.

Thanks!
