FATAL 2: RelationPutHeapTuple: failed to add tuple

From

Hi,
 
I'm having trouble creating temp tables.
 
Can anyone help me with this?
 
Short of Dumping, dropping, creating and restoring the DB, I'm not sure what to do from here.
 
We have been running this particular function for months.  Today it just does't want to play the game.

Yipes, that's not supposed to happen.  What PG version is this?  If it's
recent (7.1 or 7.2) I would be interested in poking into the problem
with a debugger.

Hi Tom,

The version is Postgres 7.1.3.

The problem is no longer there at the moment.  I had to get our application
up and running...  I ran a vacuum and found one particlar transaction table
in trouble...  Sorry I did not keep the error messages.  I ended up
truncating the table and vacuuming it again.  Then rebuilt the table data.
It seems fine now.  It happened again yesterday on our development box.  The
table in trouble was PG_ATTRIBUTES this time, as I do not have time to try
and rebuild this table in a development environment,  I ended up dropping
and re-creating the DB and loading a production backup.

Thanks

Andrew
