Chapman,
I am not PgAdmin support, but AFAIK, there never was, or are, any tables or
functions that PgAdmin is dependent on.
My guess is that the former dba or owner of the database in questionmade those
tables and functions as a shortcut or workaround to usingregular PostgreSQL
catalogs and functions.
You can execute the following queries to see if there are any comments
whichmight give you a hint as to what they are used for.
SELECT DISTINCT ON (c.relname)
n.nspname as schema,
c.relname,
a.rolname as owner,
0 as col_seq,
'' as column,
d.description as comment
FROM pg_class c
LEFT JOIN pg_attribute col ON (col.attrelid = c.oid)
LEFT JOIN pg_description d ON (d.objoid = col.attrelid AND d.objsubid = 0)
JOIN pg_namespace n ON (n.oid = c.relnamespace)
JOIN pg_authid a ON ( a.OID = c.relowner )
WHERE n.nspname NOT LIKE 'information%'
AND relname NOT LIKE 'pg_%'
AND relname NOT LIKE 'information%'
AND relname NOT LIKE 'sql_%'
AND relname LIKE 'pgadmin%'
AND relkind = 'r'
AND d.description IS NOT NULL
UNION
SELECT n.nspname as schema,
c.relname,
'' as owner,
col.attnum as col_seq,
col.attname as column,
d.description
FROM pg_class c
JOIN pg_attribute col ON (col.attrelid = c.oid)
LEFT JOIN pg_description d ON (d.objoid = col.attrelid AND d.objsubid =
col.attnum)
JOIN pg_namespace n ON (n.oid = c.relnamespace)
JOIN pg_authid a ON ( a.OID = c.relowner )
WHERE n.nspname NOT LIKE 'information%'
AND relname NOT LIKE 'pg_%'
AND relname NOT LIKE 'information%'
AND relname NOT LIKE 'sql_%'
AND relname LIKE 'pgadmin%'
AND relkind = 'r'
AND d.description IS NOT NULL
AND col.attnum >= 0
ORDER BY 1, 2, 4;
SELECT p.oid,
p.proname AS function,
d.description AS comment
FROM pg_proc p
JOIN pg_description d ON d.objoid = p.oid
WHERE p.proname LIKE 'pgadmin%';

Hi,
In a database that has been around for a long, long time, there are
several pgAdmin-related relations and functions:
I assume these are things that were needed for some ancient version
of pgAdmin in some ancient version of PostgreSQL? I tried finding
something in current pgAdmin docs about them, but in the pgAdmin 4
or 3 docs I find nothing. Older docs are harder to find.
Can I safely conclude these are obsolete, and get rid of them without
impairing any reasonably recent version of pgAdmin?
With what version did they become obsolete, if they are?
Thanks,
