and yet, the script I ran clearly has inserts of data to the tables. And there was no indication that something failed when I ran the script

Here is an excerpt from the script file

ALTER TABLE format.statuscodes OWNER TO postgres;

SET search_path = define, pg_catalog;

--
-- Data for Name: absenteeism; Type: TABLE DATA; Schema: define; Owner: postgres
--

INSERT INTO absenteeism VALUES (1, 1, '2006-06-30', 'DA', 1);


--
-- Data for Name: badges; Type: TABLE DATA; Schema: define; Owner: postgres
--

INSERT INTO badges VALUES (1, 1, '2006-06-30', 'A');
INSERT INTO badges VALUES (2, 1, '2006-06-30', 'I');


--
-- Data for Name: departments; Type: TABLE DATA; Schema: define; Owner: postgres
--

INSERT INTO departments VALUES (1, 'Piping');
INSERT INTO departments VALUES (2, 'Electrical');
INSERT INTO departments VALUES (3, 'Instrumentation');
INSERT INTO departments VALUES (4, 'Process');
INSERT INTO departments VALUES (5, 'Mechanical');


--
-- Data for Name: doctors; Type: TABLE DATA; Schema: define; Owner: postgres
--

INSERT INTO doctors VALUES ('Baker');
INSERT INTO doctors VALUES ('Dow');
INSERT INTO doctors VALUES ('DOW');

So did the script with those inserts report any errors?
