Can you connect to it OK using psql on the server's console?
If you can, try dumping the database using pg_dump, then restore it as a 
different database and try connecting via PgAdmin to the new copy.

Hi.

I am one idea.
Please set up a log as the option of pgAdmin and acquire it.
The information on it and the version to be used is required.
we have to avoid hang/crash ......:-(

Melvin,

Your understanding of how to set up a PostgreSQL server is wrong.
One server process (it was called the postmaster up to 8.1, since 8.2 
it's now called the Server process) can run any number of databases, you 
don't need multiple postmasters for multiple databases or your server is 
going to die quickly when you start adding more and more databases, not 
to mention the admin overhead of managing all the ports, and handling 
backups.

Using PgAdmin you connect to a particular server, connecting to the 
"postgres" database by default, then once you're connected to a 
PostgreSQL server, you choose which database/s to connect to.

If the OP can connect to one database, he should be able to connect to 
another on the same server.

There are various processes for PostgreSQL, such as the auto-vacuum, 
stats-gatherer and background writer processes.

No - if yours is set up this way, your server is going to be 
unnecessarily overloaded. One PostgreSQL postmaster/server process can 
run any number of databases on one port. It's only advisable to run more 
than one PostgreSQL server process on different ports if you want to run 
two different versions of PostgreSQL, or want to dump one set of 
databases to a different server (popular during a major version upgrade.)

If the OP can connect to one database on the same server, there's no 
reason (aside from data corruption) why he shouldn't be able to connect 
to the required one, especially if nothing has changed - he'd get an "no 
pg_hba.conf entry for <such and such> if the pg_hba.conf file was 
mis-configured.

I'd advise the OP to either turn on debug logging in PgAdmin and 
re-create the crash, or dump the database from the server, restore as a 
different database on the same machine and try to connect to it again.
Matt, if you follow this method, it won't take the database down as long 
as you restore the dump to a different database name. If it works, I'd 
then advise to dump the original database again, drop it and re-create 
it. That will take it down for as long as the dump takes place.

Hope this helps!

Andy.

Yes, you are correct, but you can have multiple _clusters_ with
different ports,
so there would a separate postmaster for each cluster on a
server/machine with
a different port.

Keep in mind the port for the database was not specified in the original
description
so it s entirely possible the unaccessible database was due to the
postmaster for that
port being down.

BTW, we do have several servers/systems/machines running multiple
postmasters on multiple ports
so even of my "understanding" of postgresql is different than yours,
I must be doing something right. :)

Yes, you can, but the way you've worded your response was that you have 
one postmaster process per _database_, which isn't correct.  A cluster 
is a group of databases, not one, therefore your response to the OP was 
misleading.

The OP said they can access other databases on the same server OK, plus 
PgAdmin wouldn't crash - they'd get a "the server is not listening..." 
message.

If you have legitimate reasons for doing so, fine, but I was responding 
to the way you worded your question, which was you were saying you have 
one process per port per database, which is by no means ideal.
