Hi Tom,
Thanks for the reply! The reindex command you provided did not work, it gave the same error as the one I got when logging in earlier, however I was feeling reckless so I did reindex database <mydatabase>; and that completed as follows:
NOTICE: table "pg_class" was reindexed
NOTICE: table "sql_features" was reindexed
NOTICE: table "sql_implementation_info" was reindexed
NOTICE: table "sql_languages" was reindexed
NOTICE: table "sql_packages" was reindexed
NOTICE: table "sql_sizing" was reindexed
NOTICE: table "sql_sizing_profiles" was reindexed
NOTICE: table "pg_statistic" was reindexed
ERROR: invalid page header in block 43 of relation "pg_attribute"
So I tried the reindex index pg_class_oid_index; again, and it responded with REINDEX, so I assume it succeeded. I can also login to the database as normal now(with out the PGOPTIONS="-P"). I'm assuming I should probably worry about the ERROR above. Is there another repair command to fix this or should I try to dump/initdb/reload?
Thanks,
Andrew

export PGOPTIONS="-P"
psql ..usual options..
reindex index pg_class_oid_index;
After that, a dump/initdb/reload might be in order, since it's hard to
tell whether there are other problems lurking. Some testing of your
hardware might be advisable too; and I'd suggest updating your Postgres
if it's not a recent release.
