Hi,
while restoring backup i have received these messages
WARNING:  column "id" has type "unknown"
DETAIL:  Proceeding with relation creation anyway.

I have tried to grep schema-only dump file, but i didn't find word unknown.
When i have extracted all mentioned ID fields i didn't find any field which
is not of type integer,smallint or varchar.

How can i find out which table has that unknown type?

Thanx in advance

It's most likely a view with an output column that's an undecorated
string literal.

Try something like

select attrelid::regclass, attname from pg_attribute where atttypid = 'unknown'::regtype;
