But - you have deleted the "refcursor" type which is not a good idea! If you
don't use cursors you might get away with it, but I'd be nervous about it.

If you create a new database does it contain the refcursor type? If so, drop
and recreate the database, restoring the data to it. If not, I think you'll
need to restore the template1 db - there's an article on
techdocs.postgresql.org about this (byJosh IIRC).
