Re: Damaged table "pg_access"

Hello,

yes, you were completely right, thank you very much, you saved me from
spending much time on this problem! The recreation of the groups 1, 2, 3
and 4 resolved the problem :-) My next question is: how can I (as a
workaround till version 7.1) permanently remove a group without facing
this problem? Can I rudely remove the granted permissions by any command
(e.g. deleting it manually from the system catalogue)?

Best regards, Jens
