I am using postgres 7.4.5, and have a corrupt pg_statistic. Many commands cause the following error: ERROR: invalid page header in block 10 of relation "pg_statistic" I want to preserve my data if at all possible, I figured I would just dump the database and reload it. I tried pg_dump, but it gives me: pg_dump: query to obtain list of data types failed: ERROR: invalid page header in block 11 of relation "pg_statistic" even if I just try to dump a single table. I tried postgres in single-user mode: delete from pg_statistic gives me the same error drop table pg_statistic gives me ERROR: permission denied: "pg_statistic" is a system catalog Is there any way to nuke pg_statistic (since its contents can be recalculated anyway?)
