Re: invalid types and tables

Hi Tom and Shoaib,

Hi Tom and Shoaib,

thanks for the help, one last question I hope, how do I cross reference the
pg_class, pg_user and pg_type so that I can obtain the usesysid of the
missing owner?

Regards,

Sandy

No, just create a new user with the same usesysid as is shown as the owner
in pg_class etc. See the SYSID option to CREATE USER.

(FWIW, more recent PG versions prevent you from dropping users that still
own objects.)
