Re: Backend Crash |

I've got a database corruption/backend crash problem with my 8.1.3 database on Mac OS X Server 10.4. I'm beginning the process of trying to recover it. If anyone is interested in trying to fully understand the what, where, and why of the crash, please contact me. I've provided the basic information on the crash below.
Thanks,
F

The database error was first identified by a series of emails that were sent with incorrect data. My first step was to try to get a database dump (which crashed):
[fharvell@amos subscription]$ pg_dump -U dinkdb -W dinkdb -f ~/dinkdb-`date +%Y%m%d`.dump
Password:
pg_dump: WARNING: terminating connection because of crash of another server process
DETAIL: The postmaster has commanded this server process to roll back the current transaction and exit, because another server process exited abnormally and possibly corrupted shared memory.
HINT: In a moment you should be able to reconnect to the database and repeat your command.
pg_dump: server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
pg_dump: SQL command to dump the contents of table "feature_view" failed: PQendcopy() failed.
pg_dump: Error message from server: server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
pg_dump: The command was: COPY public.feature_view (visit_id, category, feature, username, notes, browser, capability_code, cookie, ip, created, updated) TO stdout;
I then shutdown the server and rebooted it and tried another dump:
[fharvell@amos fharvell]$ pg_dump -U dinkdb -W dinkdb -f ~/dinkdb-`date +%Y%m%d`.dump
Password:

pg_dump: SQL command to dump the contents of table "browser_summary" failed: PQendcopy() failed.
pg_dump: Error message from server: server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
pg_dump: The command was: COPY public.browser_summary (browser, capability_code, aggregate_year, aggregate_month, aggregate_count, cookie, ip, created, updated) TO stdout;
I've now shut down the database and am copying it before trying to dump individual tables to recover as much data as possible.
