With PostgreSQL 9.5.15, I ran:

Eh?  It looks like it worked (maybe), but why:

    (1) the table already exist and the immediately doesn't exist?
    (2) report ERROR on UPDATE when there are no UPDATES in the input file?

I take it back.  The content of the table was not restored to the values in 
nT.db afterall.
