Thread: failure to restart postgresql service after improper shutdown

failure to restart postgresql service after improper shutdown

From
"Geisler, Jim"
Date:
after an improper shutdown (power failure) the postgres service cannot be restarted.
simply restoring the postmaster.pid does not allow the postgres service to start.
 
also, is there somekind of data integrity check built in with postgresql that can notify me of any data corruption resulting from the 'crash'?
 
thanks.
