Suggest recreating the table without any dropped columns.
If it breaks again next time someone drops a column that's not going to be suitable. It's a large table with several incices and relationships to and from other tables, if I re-create it (eg using SELECT ... INTO) I'd also need to redo all the triggers, indices, constraints, and relationships and then the next time I'd have track them all down again (in case they've been changed), there's too much risk of something breaking. I'll continue to use an index on column that's maintained by a trigger to store the tsvector (like the fulltextsearch docs suggest) until we're ready to upgrade our several clients to 8.4 or 9. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
