FATAL: could not open relation xxx: No such file or directory



Hello all

my struggle with the database continues (see earlier thread titled "too many trigger records found for relation xyz").

Today, I created yet another to table to the same database. Everything went ok, no errors or anything, but when I checked pg_tables -view I saw two tables with the same name. Instantly I queried pg_class and yes there was again two tables with same oid. I dropped the table before anything more serious could happen, but then postgres started to complain of "cache lookup failed for relation ...". I disconnected my psql session and tried to reconnect but failed to do so:

2008-04-09 16:39:25 EEST [18984]: [1-1] FATAL:  could not open relation 1663/16386/544592: No such file or directory

Indeed, there is no such file in that directory. I'm guessing that file is connected to the table I just dropped. Now, is there anything to do to get the database back online? I can still connect to other databases in the same instance.

Regards

Mikko
