Bottom line the index exists, it is just not being applied.
Questions:
1) What is the restore command being used?
2) From this post:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/AS2PR05MB10754BFE319E2594C9E076EE2EFFDA%40AS2PR05MB10754.eurpr...
What does this:
"The steps that show the index is missing is an export of the database
while the index is ‘corrupt’, and then importing it. The import fails on
foreign keys that are pointing to this index because it is indeed not
created."
mean?
If you REINDEX before the export is the index attached to the table on
import?
Define 'corrupt'.
3) The field the index points at, id, has:
bigint nextval('bcf_work_type_id_seq'::regclass).
Is that coming from a bigserial definition or a DEFAULT setting?
4) What happens if you create a test database and restore bcf_work_type
by itself, with and without data?
