I am doing a ton of pgsql over here defining and redefining functions and triggers and every day or so I get this:

Error: Database error XX000: cache lookup failed for type 5276542
Query: select dcm.task_user_dispos(42895::bigint, 870::bigint)
[condition type: internal-error]

 If I exit everything and start over (but not bouncing the PG server) the problem goes away.

I gather this kind of DB error is not a user error, but I would still be interested in learning how to avoid it because even in production we will need to be redefining functions periodically.

Does the above give anyone any ideas at all about what is going on?

Environemnt is:

Version string PostgreSQL 9.1.2 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 4.4.5 20110214 (Red Hat 4.4.5-6), 64-bit

Thx, ken
