I don't know what to say. There is nothing here that helps me to
reproduce the error. Can you give use more details on your cluster?
what's the name of the database for example? is there any other error
messages in the logs?

Nope. We don't put in cache any information (apart from system and user
types IIRC). For sure, we don't put in file a list of objects, whatever
they are. Try to quit pgadmin and launch it again. If it still appears,
then the database is in your system.
