Description: =
Hi,
We are having a problem with postgres database version 8.0.14. This is a
production data base and suddenly it has created a database under the same
name in one postgres instance.
List of databases
Name | Owner | Encoding =
--------------------+----------+----------
monitor_cacti | Monitor | UNICODE
template0 | postgres | UNICODE
template1 | postgres | UNICODE
*_live | xxx | UNICODE
*_live | xxx | UNICODE
(5 rows)
once we checked the datfrozenxid and datvacuumxid it show like this. =
oid | datname | datdba | encoding | datistemplate |
datallowconn | datlastsysoid | datvacuumxid | datfrozenxid | dattablespace |
datconfig | datacl =
-----------+--------------------+--------+----------+---------------+------=
--------+---------------+--------------+--------------+---------------+----=
-------+------------------------
18580764 | *_live | 100 | 6 | f | t =
| 17228 | 482 | 482 | 1663 | |
95000657 | monitor_cacti | 101 | 6 | f | t =
| 17228 | 482 | 482 | 1663 | =
| =
1 | template1 | 1 | 6 | t | t =
| 17228 | 482 | 482 | 1663 | |
{postgres=3DCT/postgres}
17229 | template0 | 1 | 6 | t | f =
| 17228 | 482 | 482 | 1663 | =
| {postgres=3DCT/postgres}
116382901 |*_live | 100 | 6 | f | t =
| 17228 | 3261314675 | 3261314675 | 1663 | =
| =
(5 rows)

one of the duplicated database show very large value and other shoe 482.
We cannot take the backups since it duplicate the databases.
I need to know about these.
1. If I get the data folder copied and paste that to a other postgres
instance can I restore the database?
2. why this kind of duplicate happens and is there workaround to solve this
issue?
3. why datfrozenxid and datvacuumxid shows large valuse?
Since this is a production database appriciate early feedback.
Thanks
Sachinthana
