Your DB is corrupted. Either you have valid backup , or you try to
rectify as is.

In this case, search the net / write a pgplsql func to pinpoint the
corrupted toast row. Then zero it out.

This could be handy :

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION find_bad_row(text,text,text) RETURNS VOID AS $f$

declare

tblname ALIAS FOR $1;

pkname ALIAS FOR $2;

culprit ALIAS FOR $3;

curid INT := 0;

vcontent TEXT;

badid INT;

begin

FOR badid IN EXECUTE 'SELECT '||pkname||' FROM '||tblname||' ORDER BY
'||pkname LOOP

curid = curid + 1;

--raise notice 'inspecting row %', curid;

if curid % 100000 = 0 then

raise notice '% rows inspected', curid;

end if;

begin

EXECUTE 'SELECT '||culprit||' FROM '||tblname||' where '||pkname||' =
'|| badid INTO vcontent;

vcontent := substr(vcontent,1,1000);

exception

when others then

raise notice 'data for table %,  pk=% is corrupt', tblname,badid;

continue;

end;

end loop;

end;

$f$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
