Here's a statement which currently gives an unexpected chunk error: efamroot@kat efam=# SELECT * FROM efam.sendreference WHERE id = '189909908'; ERROR: unexpected chunk number 0 (expected 1) for toast value 1698936148 in pg_toast_10919630 And when I run the suggested query, I get: efamroot@kat efam=# select chunk_id, chunk_seq, ctid, xmin, xmax, length(chunk_data) from pg_toast.pg_toast_10919630 where chunk_id = 1698936148 order by 1,2; chunk_id | chunk_seq | ctid | xmin | xmax | length ------------+-----------+--------------+------------+------+-------- 1698936148 | 0 | (52888694,2) | 1511390221 | 0 | 1996 1698936148 | 1 | (52888694,4) | 1511390221 | 0 | 1148 (2 rows) How would I go about checking if they are still in a seqscan? (Note: this is on PostgreSQL 9.3.22.) Best regards, Adam -- "No more than that, but very powerful all the Adam Sjøgren same; simple things are good." adsj@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
