Hi folks
Somehow we've ended up with a few corrupt indices in our database. We've previously dropped the table they were on, but the indices are still there (kind of):
Trying to drop the indices gives us:
drop index "v_0000038e_GEOMETRY";
ERROR: could not open relation with OID 9590980
Looking up that index in pg_class:
select oid, relname from pg_class where relname = 'v_0000038e_GEOMETRY';
oid | relname
---------+---------------------
9590993 | v_0000038e_GEOMETRY
And looking up those OIDs in pg_depend:
select * from pg_depend where objid = 9590993;
classid | objid | objsubid | refclassid | refobjid | refobjsubid | deptype
---------+---------+----------+------------+----------+-------------+---------
1259 | 9590993 | 0 | 1259 | 9590980 | 3 | a
1259 | 9590993 | 0 | 2616 | 20506 | 0 | n
But that table doesn't exist anymore (that's okay, we dropped it earlier):
select * from pg_class where oid = 9590980 or relname = 'v_0000038e';
(0 rows)
Restarting the database didn't help, unfortunately.
I'm a bit hesitant to try the fix mentioned at the following URL since it involves deleting things from system tables:
Any suggestions for a nicer approach? Or can someone who knows tell me if its okay to follow the instructions at that url, without breaking anything?
Thanks
Craig de Stigter
