Hi, Luca, it'd be cool if you could not top-quote on this list - Thanks! Others - this seems like a potentially more longstanding bug, see the bottom of the mail. Peter, looks like you might be involved specifically. On 2018-06-28 08:26:58 +0200, Luca Ferrari wrote: > Got it: it happens if you drop and recreate the index.

argv=0x55c314e93330) at /home/andres/src/postgresql/src/backend/main/main.c:228 What you're seeing here is just a consequence of doing nasty things in your index function - you're accessing the index inside the function used to build the index. That fails because the index isn't actually built at that point. It's possible we could find a way to report a better error, but I don't think we'll try to make this actually work. > testdb=> select * from t; > 2018-06-28 10:23:23.642 CEST [892] ERROR: could not open relation > with OID 16538 > 2018-06-28 10:23:23.642 CEST [892] STATEMENT: select * from t; > ERROR: could not open relation with OID 16538 This however seems wrong. Cleary the relation's index list is out of date. I believe this happens because there's currently no relcache invalidation registered for the main relation, until *after* the index is built. Normally it'd be the CacheInvalidateRelcacheByTuple(tuple) in index_update_stats(), which is called at the bottom of index_build(). But we never get there, because the earlier error. That's bad, because any relcache entry built *after* the CommandCounterIncrement() in CommandCounterIncrement() will now be outdated. In the olden days we most of the time didn't build a relcache entry until after the index was built - but plan_create_index_workers() now does. I'm suspect there's other ways to trigger that earlier, too. Putting in a CacheInvalidateRelcache(heapRelation); before the CCI in index_create() indeed makes the "borked relcache" problem go away. I wonder why we don't just generally trigger invalidations to an indexes' "owning" relation in CacheInvalidateHeapTuple()? else if (tupleRelId == IndexRelationId) { Form_pg_index indextup = (Form_pg_index) GETSTRUCT(tuple); /* * When a pg_index row is updated, we should send out a relcache inval * for the index relation. As above, we don't know the shared status * of the index, but in practice it doesn't matter since indexes of * shared catalogs can't have such updates. */ relationId = indextup->indexrelid; databaseId = MyDatabaseId; } Greetings, Andres Freund
