Re: CASCADING could not open relation with OID

I get values frin the first statement but not from the second.
After setting indexscan to off, still the same thing.

Should this setting be off in general?

What do you get from
select oid, * from pg_class where relname = 'bb_master';
select oid, * from pg_class where oid = 16896;

If either one fails to get a hit, try it again after doing
set enable_indexscan = off;

Hard to tell. It sounds a bit like pg_class catalog damage, but the
above experiment will tell us more.
