So this error can only come from a normal SQL-level delete if there is associated TOAST data which is being deleted as well. In which case that TOAST data must be already marked deleted -- which shouldn't be possible. It sounds like you have a database where some writes from earlier transactions reached the database and others didn't. That can happen if you take an inconsistent backup (without using pg_start_backup()) or if the drive you're using confirmed writes before crashing but didn't actually write them. You might be able to get somewhat further by reindexing the TOAST table for this table. To do so do "REINDEX TABLE document". But note that you could run into further errors from the missing toast data. -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
