I found this thread online because I have the same problem. So, I thought
I'd share what I've discovered. I could not drop a role. pg_dumpall doesn't
show any dependencies to this toast table. Here is output (with some
information <snipped> to protect the privacy of the company I am working
for):
<snipped>=# drop role <snipped>;
ERROR: role "<snipped>" cannot be dropped because some objects depend on it
DETAIL: owner of type pg_toast.pg_toast_51797
1 objects in database <snipped>
I found the role in question (with oid = 1237) from pg_roles. Then, I was
able to find a list of dependencies:
postgres=# select * from pg_shdepend where refobjid=17158;
dbid | classid | objid | refclassid | refobjid | deptype
-------+---------+-------+------------+----------+---------
16388 | 1247 | 51802 | 1260 | 17158 | o
52721 | 1247 | 51802 | 1260 | 17158 | o
pfacts003=# select * from pg_class where oid = 1247;
relname | relnamespace | reltype | relowner | relam | relfilenode |

relhasindex | relisshared | relkind | relnatts | relchecks | reltriggers |

This may help explain what happened. I can't give any history of the
situation since I inherited this database. But, I think the above should be
somewhat helpful. Is it possible that the person who first "needed" a toast
table gets the type build by default and therefore owns it?
