Hi, I ran into another issue - after inserting some data into a table with a tsvector column (without any compression defined), I can no longer read the data.
This is what I get in the console: db=# select max(md5(body_tsvector::text)) from messages; ERROR: cache lookup failed for compression options 6432 and the stack trace looks like this: Breakpoint 1, get_cached_compression_options (cmoptoid=6432) at tuptoaster.c:2563 2563 elog(ERROR, "cache lookup failed for compression options %u", cmoptoid); (gdb) bt #0 get_cached_compression_options (cmoptoid=6432) at tuptoaster.c:2563 #1 0x00000000004bf3da in toast_decompress_datum (attr=0x2b44148) at tuptoaster.c:2390 #2 0x00000000004c0c1e in heap_tuple_untoast_attr (attr=0x2b44148) at tuptoaster.c:225 #3 0x000000000083f976 in pg_detoast_datum (datum=<optimized out>) at fmgr.c:1829 #4 0x00000000008072de in tsvectorout (fcinfo=0x2b41e00) at tsvector.c:315 #5 0x00000000005fae00 in ExecInterpExpr (state=0x2b414b8, econtext=0x2b25ab0, isnull=<optimized out>) at execExprInterp.c:1131 #6 0x000000000060bdf4 in ExecEvalExprSwitchContext (isNull=0x7fffffe9bd37 "", econtext=0x2b25ab0, state=0x2b414b8) at ../../../src/include/executor/executor.h:299 It seems the VARATT_IS_CUSTOM_COMPRESSED incorrectly identifies the value as custom-compressed for some reason. Not sure why, but the tsvector column is populated by a trigger that simply does NEW.body_tsvector := to_tsvector('english', strip_replies(NEW.body_plain)); If needed, the complete tool is here: https://bitbucket.org/tvondra/archie regards -- Tomas Vondra http://www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
