  1. pg_dump: schema with OID 559701082 does not exist

    Dirk Lutzebäck <lutzeb@aeccom.com> — 2005-11-29T15:13:43Z

    Hi,
    
    I get the following error when I call:
    
    # pg_dump  db
    pg_dump: schema with OID 559701082 does not exist
    
    this happens with 8.0.1 on RHEL 3.0. I cannot dump the database neither 
    with --schema-only or --data-only.
    
    What can I do?
    
    Thanks for help,
    
    Dirk

    I suspect a corrupted catalog entry.  Look through your system catalogs
    for an entry referring to namespace 559701082 --- you want to look in
    pg_class.relnamespace, pg_proc.pronamespace, etc.

    I have found and deleted an entry with pg_class.relnamespace=559701082 
    but nowhere else. I still cannot dump the schema. Is there something 
    like a system catalog integrity checker?
    
    The problem I'm facing is the following:
    
    cs1=# select relname from pg_class where relname like 'bm%';
                   relname
    -----------------------------------
      bm_pagehits_1133271374_047421_941

      bm_pagehits_1133284780_743839_884
    (4 rows)
    
    cs1=# drop table bm_pagehits_1133271374_047421_941;

    Uh, are you sure these are in a schema that's in your search path?

    Yes, I think so. What search path do you mean? These tables were all 
    temporary tables.

    In that case they're most likely *not* in your search path, unless your
    session happens to have seized on the same pg_temp_nn schema they are
    in (in which case it'd have deleted them, so I guess it didn't).
    
    I'd suggest joining to pg_namespace to determine which schema(s) they
    are in, and then deleting with the explicit schema, ie, DROP TABLE
    pg_temp_nnn.bm_pagehits_... Note you'll probably need to be superuser
    to do this.
    
    Or you could just ignore them, because they'll get zapped automatically
    next time the containing pg_temp schema gets reused.

    Hi Tom,
    
    I have now deleted every temp table I know from pg_temp_nnn using your 
    approach but still can't dump the schema:
    
    pg_dump: schema with OID 559701082 does not exist
    
    I could'nt find any reference to  559701082 in pg_class, pg_namespace or 
    pg_proc.
    
    Regards,
    
    Dirk

    Better keep looking then.  See
    http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/catalogs.html
    (adjust link for your PG version) to find out which catalogs reference
    pg_namespace.

    Yes, I finally found the reference in pg_type.
