If the table itself is really messed up it can be tough to fix.
Sometimes it is possible to do a pg_dump of the table and reload --
otherwise it is a restore from the back-ups.
However, if you have indexes on the table, try dropping them all and
re-building them. I have never actually seen a corrupted table, but
index corruption with Postgres does occur. Also check for inidexes that
you may not have knowingly created, such as *_pkey or *_key ffor
primary_key or unique fields.
Hope this helps and good luck,
Adriaan
