Re: ERROR: catalog is missing 3 attribute(s) for relid 150243

[milist ujang <ujang.milist@xxxxxxxxx>]

my version is 12.9 on x86_64.

reading source code, got the message form RelationBuildTupleDesc() function:

/*
      * end the scan and close the attribute relation
      */
     systable_endscan(pg_attribute_scan);
     table_close(pg_attribute_desc, AccessShareLock);
 
     if (need != 0)
         elog(ERROR, "pg_attribute catalog is missing %d attribute(s) for relation OID %u",
              need, RelationGetRelid(relation));
 

I'm not sure whether this function will compare the mentioned relation attribute in pg_attribute and physical table (header) file?

Hi lists,

I have an index anomaly on a table; getting the error as subject.

dumping queries behind \dS+ of a table, got 4 queries (see detail below)

1st query --> OK

2nd query --> OK

3rd query ERROR same as subject (ERROR:  catalog is missing 3 attribute(s) for relid 150243)

comment on 3rd query line --pg_catalog.pg_get_indexdef looks good.

so my assumption we have an issue when call pg_catalog.pg_get_indexdef function.

select pg_catalog.pg_get_indexdef ( 150243, 0, TRUE );

return blank.

any ideas?
