Sorry, but that doesn't qualify as a reproducible example, because it works fine here: regression=# create table signon( regression(# name varchar(25) not null, regression(# user_id bigint not null, regression(# passwd varchar(30) not null, regression(# primary key(user_id), regression(# unique (name)); NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index 'signon_pkey' for table 'signon' NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / UNIQUE will create implicit index 'signon_name_key' for table 'signon' CREATE TABLE regression=# insert into signon values ('dump',3434343,'wdp'); INSERT 154109 1 regression=# delete from signon where user_id='3434343'; DELETE 1 Since I think this must be some kind of problem with a dropped column, I tried adding and dropping some additional columns, but no joy. A reproducible example will have to be one that lets someone else create a table that behaves this way. We need the series of creation and alteration commands that got you to this state. BTW, I'm not sure how a DELETE command would invoke get_typdefault() at all. I'm wondering if this table participates in any foreign key constraints, which could possibly cause UPDATEs to be issued against other tables, which would be plausible sources of get_typdefault() calls. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
