First thing I would do is checking wether the relation exists (e.g. by
checking pg_class for the relfilenode of the relation and then finding
it physically in PGDATA folder) or checking wether the file is
corrupted for example by finding the name and type of the relation and
trying to make some manipulation involving it (e.g. selecting data if
it is a table).
