Re: table not shown

Thanks Tom!

Here is result:
mxl=# select * from pg_catalog.pg_class where relname =
'mxl_quar_process';
relname | relnamespace | reltype | relowner | relam | relfilenode |

relfkeys | relrefs | relhasoids | relhaspkey | relhasrules |
relhassubclass | relacl

That's just plain bizarre.

I'm wondering about corruption of the indexes on pg_class --- though I'd
have expected the system to use an indexscan to look up mxl_quar_process
for the second select, so it's not obvious why the first search would
fail and the second one not.

Your later report about "invalid adnum value 5 for table mxl_user_wbl"
also sounds like it could be due to index corruption.

I'd try doing a REINDEX DATABASE to see if that fixes it. (Read the
REINDEX man page fully before you start.)

One other thought --- it doesn't change anything if you do
select * from pg_catalog.pg_class where relname = 'mxl_quar_process';
does it?
