Somehow I've gotten OID's > 2147483647 in my database. I have yet to
figure out how that could have happened, since I just did a restore a
few days ago and I'm not recording OID's in the dumps. Any suggestions
how this might happen would be appreciated.
The real problem though is why I can't do a pg_dump now. I get this
error from pg_dump:
getTables(): SELECT (for PRIMARY KEY) failed on table itemadj.
Explanation from backend: ERROR: dtoi4: integer out of range
The indexes on this table have very large OID's. They are valid as
OID's, but not as INT4's, so apparently pg_dump doesn't do a proper cast
when querying the pg_class table?
Any suggestions how to fix this or get a dump? This is quickly getting
scarey, since I can't see a way to get a backup. Bad bad bad.
Btw, this is postgres 7.1.3 (select version() says:)
PostgreSQL 7.1.3 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC 2.96
Running on Redhat 7.2.
Thx in advance,
