Can be pg_buffercache the problem? Oh ... looking again at your latest problem query, the query is buggy: db=# SELECT ... pg_relation_size(c.relname) ... FROM pg_class c INNER JOIN pg_buffercache b ON b.relfilenode = c.relfilenode ... ERROR: relation "pg_toast_1255" does not exist The pg_toast schema isn't in your search path so you can't just do "pg_relation_size(c.relname)". You'd be better off using pg_relation_size(c.oid) anyway. I was misled by the chance coincidence that pg_proc's toast table was the one mentioned, otherwise I'd probably have seen this sooner. So this is not a bug, and not related to the original problem. We still don't know what the original problem was, but I wonder if it might have been of the same ilk. I don't think you ever showed us the exact query that led to the "could not open relation" message? regards, tom lane
