Обсуждение: sanity check fails

When I try to backup my database using pg_dump I get the following error:

--  dumping out user-defined functions
failed sanity check,  type with oid 96867 was not found

How can I correct that?

I am using Postgresql 6.5.1

It sounds like you had a user-defined type that you deleted without
first having deleted all the functions that accepted or returned that
type.  You can look for the culprit function with
select * from pg_proc where prorettype = 96867 or    pg_proc.proargtypes[0] = 96867 or    pg_proc.proargtypes[1] =
96867or    ...    pg_proc.proargtypes[7] = 96867;
 

Some room for improvement here, obviously: pg_dump ought to identify
where it found the dangling type reference, and even better you
shouldn't be able to drop a still-referenced type in the first place...
        regards, tom lane

Thanks Tom.

The output was

(1 row)

I do not understand the output.  It seems to refer to some left-overs
of a tutorial I ran some time ago.  I have removed all the remaining
tables of that tutorial.  But how can I get a list of user defined
functions?  Doing a \df in psql results in an output of more that 900
lines.
