The reason I raise this question is because I corrupted pg_trigger by
concurrently perform drop/create table (with foreign keys). This was posted
in pgbugs, but it is weird that I can't find out the original post. I
suspect there are some race conditions in object deletion but not sure
where:
test=# select * from pg_trigger where tgconstrrelid not in (select oid from
pg_class);tgrelid | tgname | tgfoid | tgtype | tgenabled |
tgisconstraint | tgconstrname | tgconstrrelid | tgdeferrable |
tginitdeferred |
tgnargs| tgattr | tgargs
