Hi,
I got the following error on doing a vacuumdb :
NOTICE: RelationBuildDesc: can't open obo_switching_sql: No such file or
directory ERROR: _mdfd_getrelnfd: cannot open relation obo_switching_sql: No
such file or directory

I can do a \d on the table, but can't select (same error as above). I tried
the following without success (truncate,drop,create)
pri2230=# truncate table obo_switching_sql;
NOTICE: RelationBuildDesc: can't open obo_switching_sql: No such file or
directory
ERROR: cannot open obo_switching_sql: No such file or directory
pri2230=# drop table obo_switching_sql;
ERROR: cannot open obo_switching_sql: No such file or directory
pri2230=# \i obo_switching_sql.dmp
You are now connected as new user postgres.
psqlbo_switching_sql.dmp:20: ERROR: Relation 'obo_switching_sql' already
exists

What to do, what to do???
Any advise?
Mel
