The file you attached contains a view definition but it doesn't
show the underlying tables, nor the statement that resulted in the
error. By "self-contained example" I mean enough statements that
somebody could copy them into an empty database and reproduce the
problem.
The error "row is too big: size 9856, maximum size 8136" gives a
clue at what's wrong but I'm not sure what circumstances cause it,
because the TOAST mechanism allows rows to be larger than a page.
This is just a guess, but maybe the error means that the non-TOASTABLE
data is exceeding the page size.
