heap errors - should I be worried?

Hello,

yesterday I took our database down and started in single user mode.
After reindexing of three tables I thought a vacuum would be a good idea.

backend> VACUUM FULL VERBOSE ANALYZE
WARNING: Index pg_statistic_re lid_att_index: NUMBER OF INDEX' TUPLES
(163) IS NOT THE SAME AS HEAP' (345).
Recreate the index.
WARNING: Index pg_statistic_re lid_att_index: NUMBER OF INDEX' TUPLES
(5) IS NOT THE SAME AS HEAP' (345).
Recreate the index.
WARNING: Index pg_toast_16408_ index: NUMBER OF INDEX' TUPLES (2) IS NOT
THE SAME AS HEAP' (7).
Recreate the index.

Should these errors worry me? What do they mean? IS there anything I
need to do / should have done?

TIA

/Ulrich

Yeah, they should. A REINDEX will probably get you out of the immediate
problem, but the more interesting question is how you got to be missing
index entries in the first place. Have you had any crashes or hardware
problems lately? What PG version is this?

Hi Tom,

PG version 7.3.4
No hardware problems or crashes I know of. I do a "vacuum full analyze"
once every night and never did see these problems. Only yesterday after
I used reindex on three tables did I see these problems.

I will try to reindex the database tonight.

Thanks

Hi, I'm having some compiler problems when I try to use make_heap(), push_heap() and pop_heap(). I am compiling my code on gcc version 3.3.1 (SuSE Linux). I am using the heap related methods to create a priority queue on a list of objects ordered by the objectId. The problem is that the compiler says that I have to implement the operator- on my object.

When I compile my application if there are any .net coding errors they show up fine in the error list in VS.NET 2005 following my attempt to compile. However there are also a ton of other errors about the html not being transitional. I'm not worried about those right now. Is there a way to suppress those so I only get "real" asp.net errors and not html markup errors? Thanks, Steve

It seemed like a nice clean method for detecting, handling, and propagating errors. You can find multitudes of articles...

Hi, I need some help! I'm writing an infinite-precision floating point library called ipfloat (I know infinite is a misnomer - but arbitrary was taken). A quick overview: I'm storing numbers as a char* mantissa, an int exponent and a sign. For example, the number "123.45" would have a mantissa of 12345, an exponent of 2, and a sign of +. I'm essentially storing it as "1.2345x10^2". The mantissa is allocated dynamically at runtime to...
