EnterpriseDB is pleased to announce the initial release of
pg_catcheck, a catalog integrity checker for PostgreSQL and Postgres
Plus Advanced Server. pg_catcheck is a simple tool for diagnosing
system catalog corruption, released under the same license as
PostgreSQL itself. pg_catcheck reports logical errors in system
catalogs, such as a value in pg_catalog.relnamespace that is not
present in pg_namespace.oid. It is intended to make it easy to
determine the nature and extent of system catalog corruption so that
you (or your PostgreSQL support provider) can take whatever recovery
actions you might deem appropriate, such as repairing enough of the
damage to take a successful pg_dump of the damaged cluster.
pg_catcheck has been tested on Linux and Windows and is expected to
work on other operating systems, and it supports server versions 8.4
and newer.
