Thread: BufTableDelete: BufferLookup table corrupted
Hi all ! I'm working with PostgreSQL 7.0.2, and I may have a little problem : my database seems to be corrupted. When I connect to database (with psql, e.g.), I receive the message 'FATAL 1: BufTableDelete: BufferLookup table corrupted'. If I insist, I can enter the database. But then, a couple of things doesn't work any more : \dt, to display tables, tells me 'ERROR: SearchSysCache: recursive use of cache 17'. Statements seem to work, but I'm afraid the problem could extend. So, is it so bad it seems to be ? Does someone has an idea how I can fix that problem without loosing all ? Thanks in advance. _____________ B. Carrupt
I restarted Postmaster and it works now ! Thanks. The only thing I can say about it is that I was in the middle of a transaction executed in background, using 100% CPU, and I killed the postmaster forked for my transaction (I work under HP-UX). Maybe I shouldn't do this... :) ___________ B. Carrupt

AFAICS your problems are just with datastructures in shared memory, so a postmaster restart should clean them up. If you can figure out the sequence of actions that produced this state in the first place, please file a bug report with details ... regards, tom lane
