Okay,

cpcs=> select relname from pg_class where oid = '8892659';
relname
---------------
pg_temp.29453.1
(1 row)

So it is one of those temp tables...now if I delete those tables with the
allow-system-table-mods switch, will that still correct the pg_inherits
table so that the dependency no longer exists? Or can I remove that by
hand, too?

Thanks,
