Re: invalid types and tables

Hi all admins,

Even though I am new to postgres I have been given the job of administrator,
in at the deep end you might say.

We have a cron job that runs nightly to back up all of our users databases,
the output from the cron job shows the following WARNINGs

pg_dump: WARNING: owner of data type pga_queries appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: owner of data type pg_toast_557151 appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: owner of data type pga_forms appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: owner of data type pg_toast_557156 appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: owner of data type pga_scripts appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: owner of data type pg_toast_557161 appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: owner of data type pga_reports appears to be invalid

pg_dump: WARNING: owner of data type pg_toast_557186 appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: owner of table "pga_queries" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: owner of table "pga_forms" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: owner of table "pga_scripts" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: owner of table "pga_reports" appears to be invalid

pg_dump: WARNING: owner of table "adult_results" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: owner of table "child_results" appears to be invalid
pg_dump: WARNING: owner of data type trigger appears to be invalid

My two questions are:

1: How do I find out which owner is being referenced, when I look at a
number of user accounts (databases) they all appear to have pga_forms,
pga_reposts etc.

2: How do I display a list of the above mentioned types?

We are running version 7.2.3 (upgrading in the new year)

Thanks in advance for any assistance,

Regards,
