A seldom-used database of mine was not recently vacuumed and I've run
into the error: FATAL: database is not accepting commands to avoid
wraparound data loss in database "stop" HINT: Stop the postmaster and
use a standalone backend to vacuum database "stop". In fact, I get this
error while trying to run "vacuumdb -U postgres -a" (and logged in as
postgres).
I haven't the foggiest idea what this means but googled the error and
found a site that seems to suggest that I need to run the vacuum in
"single-user" mode before running VACUUM FULL, but I cannot find out how
to do that, either.
Can anyone lend some advice, please?
