Postgres Database got down - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Hi All,

I am sure, this question must have been asked many times, I tried to search archives as well, but still unable to find solution.

Below are logs. I am using Windows 2003 server 2 and using Postgres as a metadata database for my ODI.

I got similar error last week as well. And today it has crashed twice.

After that I gave it a reboot to my machine, and its 3 hrs now and its running fine. but not sure why it got down and will it go down again soon.

Can somebody advice what should I looked into?
