I'd recommend you add a user with the required id, then dump the database and
fix the dump as required. The owner of "refcursor" should be postgres (or
whatever the system user is called) - if that user has been deleted, I'd be
surprised that's the only errors you get.

It shouldn't be this the solution of the problem?

salt=# delete from pg_type where typname='refcursor';
DELETE 1
salt=# delete from pg_type where typname='eee';
DELETE 1
salt=# delete from pg_type where typname='mmm';
DELETE 1

Now, I don't have the error message!

Mr.Richard Huxton, thank you very much!

Hmm - try the following (it should show the 5 users with lowest number - the
first should be 'postgres').

SELECT * FROM pg_user ORDER BY usesysid limit 5;

Hmm - assuming the query above is good, I'd change "typowner" in "pg_type"
instead. Also the following should all display the same typowner (but we
know
there is a problem with refcursor). That typowner should be the postgres
user.

SELECT typname,typowner FROM pg_type WHERE typname LIKE 'r%';

But - you have deleted the "refcursor" type which is not a good idea! If you
don't use cursors you might get away with it, but I'd be nervous about it.

If you create a new database does it contain the refcursor type? If so, drop
and recreate the database, restoring the data to it. If not, I think you'll
need to restore the template1 db - there's an article on
techdocs.postgresql.org about this (byJosh IIRC).

Ooo!!!!
Yes, I see...
You right.

Would you give me the URL address for this article?
Please!

It's "Adventures in PostgreSQL, Episode 1 by Josh Berkus"
at http://techdocs.postgresql.org/
Loads of other good stuff there too.

Might not be necessary though - if the template1 db contains the refcursor
type definition then you just need to drop and recreate the problem database.
