Hy all,
I request your support for the following problem. (with "postmaster
(PostgreSQL) 7.4.1")
On a development-system I lost the pg_xlog-directory due to a system
crash, where the physical device on which the mountpoint pg_xlog was
located got broken.
LOG: could not open file
"/usr/local/pgsql/data/./pg_xlog/000000010000004 1" (log file 1, segment
65): No such file or directory
LOG: invalid primary checkpoint record
LOG: could not open file
"/usr/local/pgsql/data/./pg_xlog/000000010000004 1" (log file 1, segment
65): No such file or directory
LOG: invalid secondary checkpoint record
PANIC: could not locate a valid checkpoint record
LOG: startup process (PID 624) was terminated by signal 6
LOG: aborting startup due to startup process failure
So postmaster is not able to start up.
There is no problem with the data, if that would be lost, but I need the
datadefinition i.e. structure of the tables, as I have no recent backup
of that. :-(
It would even be no problem, if the database would start up and would be
inconsistent or empty, as the data get's imported from an old
to-be-replaced Sybase DBMS.
Is there a possibility to extract the data definition or to force
postmaster to start, even in an inconsistent state or with all
"contents" deleted?
Thanx very much in advance,
Dennis Breithaupt

Hi
When we issue a DBCC SHRINKFILE with empty option, the data file
is removed and the space is alloted back to the OS.
Same way when we issue a an ALTER DATABASE to remove a database,
all the data files and transaction log files are dropped.
But can these files be recovered again by using any of the disk
recovery tools?

We had one of our databases suddenly try to reference a pg_clog
file that didn't exist whenever we attempted to select from a certain
table. Anyone know of a way to recover from this? Is there a way to
reset the transaction logs and just use whatever data is actually
stored in the system?

I come from Oracle background. In Oracle, when one wants to do a point
in time
recovery, one can specify recover database until timestmap. Oracle's
database maps to a db2 subsystem, i.e., in Oracle database means
entire database, i.e.. all tablespaces (including indexes).
I see only recover tablespace and recover indexspace (or index)
commands in db2.
Therefore, one has to specify all the tablespaces and indexspaces and
recover them

Greetings,
I have a 23GB data table upon which I am building a primary key of three
columns. The data is mounted in a 137GB device and pg_xlog is mounted
on a separate 3.5GB device. I have configured 24 checkpoint segments,
which I expect gives me a worst-case usage in pg_xlog of 384MB.
Unfortunately, during the CREATE INDEX, pg_xlog becomes full!

First things first: Postgresql 8.4.2 on Fedora Core 2 X86.
Something seems to have happened to my pg_xlog and pg_clog directories after
(I believe) a power outage. In the course of trying to figure out why the
server wouldn't start, I cleaned out pg_clog and pg_xlog, in an obviously
vain attempt to reset things. I was under the impression that the server
could start without those files. Now I seem to be stuck.
So now what?

I have been testing the db2 recover command on a DB2 V8.2 Linux
database. The database contains a single partition. I am not
archiving logs but retaining them on disk. the backup image is to
disk as well. I performed the following in order :
1. OFFLINE BACKUP <time#1>
2. Create table S.T (c1 smallint)
3. Insert several rows into S.T - values 1,2,3,4,5
4. ONLINE BACKUP <time#2>
5. Insert several more rows 6,7,8,9

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
