Remarkable thing  the related error occurs when executing sql statements containing where.  The sqls that do not contain a where are not getting an error. Location information as below;

ERROR:  XX000: unrecognized node type: 223

LOCATION:  exprType, nodeFuncs.c:263

STATEMENT:  SELECT n.nspname as "Schema",

          c.relname as "Name",

          CASE c.relkind WHEN 'r' THEN 'table' WHEN 'v' THEN 'view' WHEN 'm' THEN 'materialized view' WHEN 'i' THEN 'index' WHEN 'S' THEN 'sequence' WHEN 's' THEN 'special' WHEN 'f' THEN 'foreign table' WHEN 'p' THEN 'partitioned table' WHEN 'I' THEN 'partitioned index' END as "Type",

          pg_catalog.pg_get_userbyid(c.relowner) as "Owner"

        FROM pg_catalog.pg_class c

             LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = c.relnamespace

        WHERE c.relkind IN ('r','p','v','m','S','f','')

              AND n.nspname <> 'pg_catalog'

              AND n.nspname <> 'information_schema'

              AND n.nspname !~ '^pg_toast'

          AND pg_catalog.pg_table_is_visible(c.oid)

        ORDER BY 1,2;

A handy trick for similar cases (not mentioned in the wiki) is to set

SET log_error_verbosity = verbose;

and then trigger the error. This logs the exact location (file:line)
where the error is printed, and then set a breakpoint to that place.
Makes it easier to generate the backtrace.
