--------------------------------------
| Postgres Version 9.0.2 |
--------------------------------------
After a Kernel Panic in Debian 5, we found corrupted rows in pg_attribute
about 2 tables.
I deleted the rows and updated the pg_class.relnatts with the result of:
SELECT count(*) FROM pg_attribute WHERE attnum > 0 AND attrelid = 167017 --
Returned 22 rows.
where 167017 is the one of the tables OID.
Now I got the following messages:
1 - When PgAdmin III list the table structure for the first time:
ERROR: invalid attribute number 23 for fase_laudo_apac
LINE 1: Select count(*) as rows from only fase_laudo_apac
2- When I tried to drop the fase_laudo_apac table:
An error has occourred:
ERROR: cache lookup failed for attribute 3 of relation 167045
Any help will be really appreciated

Hi,
First thing I would've done is to insert the two corrupted rows into
pg_attribute. The best way to get the data for the inserts is to restore a
dump of the DB into empty database and retriever the rows by running select
over pg_attribute in restored DB. Of You have EMS manager for postgres you
can export the selected rows to sql script as inserts. After-hours running
updates on corrupted DB run an update on pg_class.
If you don't have EMS write inserts yourself based on selected rows.
Since it's only 2 rows it will be quick.
Hope this helped You.
Regards
Luke

I don't have any other healthy dump of the database.
That's why I'm trying to drop these tables.

Yet still to drop the tables you need to have complete information on them
in the system tables. So I would go and 'forge' the data by inserting info
into pg_attribute based on other entries for the columns of these tables.
After that you should be able to drop the tables or do aby other
modifications.

I'm inserting rows in pg_attribute from a old version of the table.
After that, the pg_class.relnatts field is updated with the result of:
select count(*) from pg_attribute where attrelid = 167017 and attnum > 0 --
returns 24
So I try do drop the table to see if it works and I get a message like this:
An error has occurred:
ERROR: invalid attribute number 25 for fase_laudo_apac
The curious thing is if I delete or insert another row, the number in the
error message is always the actual numbers of rows +1 (as we see above).
what is wrong?

I think I managed to restore the fields that were missing.
Now I got a message that references a Pk without de column reference, but
the column is in pg_attribute.
I guess that solving that reference could allow me to ,finaly, drop the
table.
How can I fix that?

Hi,
I guess that the Primary Key is on the table that You want to drop. Try
dropping the PK first then drop the table.
