Re: Strange "missing tables" problem - Mailing list pgsql-general

Possible xid rollover problem?  (We saw behavior similar to this during a recent
xid rollover fiasco, where tables didn't appear in the various catalogs and psql
catalog commands, but the data was still there.)

What version of PostgreSQL are you on?

If you try a VACUUM on the pg_catalog.pg_class and pg_catalog.pg_tables tables,
do the proper rows come back?
