Hi Shoaib,
 
My problem is to determine which user/s this/these is/are, I believe we have had a pg_dump problem long before I took over the support role, users had been removed on a regular basis.  There has been a pg_dump ERROR that I believe will have halted the backup process.  Is there any way I can get a list of users who have the associated tables and types?
 
Regards,
 
Sandy

It appears to me you dropped the user that was owner of the database objects been warned during dump activity. I guess dropping user was possible in you case as you are using an older release but you cant do the same in 8.1 and onwards.

I will recommend recreating the user that was dropped to get around this problem...

Hi all admins,

Even though I am new to postgres I have been given the job of administrator,
in at the deep end you might say.

We have a cron job that runs nightly to back up all of our users databases,
the output from the cron job shows the following WARNINGs

pg_dump: WARNING: owner of data type pga_queries appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: owner of data type pg_toast_557151 appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: owner of data type pga_forms appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: owner of data type pg_toast_557156 appears to be invalid

pg_dump: WARNING: owner of table "adult_results" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: owner of table "child_results" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: owner of data type trigger appears to be invalid

My two questions are:

1: How do I find out which owner is being referenced, when I look at a
number of user accounts (databases) they all appear to have pga_forms,
pga_reposts etc.

2: How do I display a list of the above mentioned types?

We are running version 7.2.3 (upgrading in the new year)

Thanks in advance for any assistance,

Regards,

Sandy Spence
