Re: Vacuum error on database postgres

["Paul B. Anderson" <paul.a@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I removed the duplicates and then immediately reindexed.  All is well.  The vacuum analyze on the postgres database works now too.  Thanks.

It is good to know the pg_statistic table can be emptied in case this ever happens again.

That's pretty odd --- I'm inclined to suspect index corruption.

  

I also tried reindexing the table.
    

Get rid of the duplicates (actually, I'd just blow away all the
pg_statistic entries for each of these tables) and *then* reindex.
Then re-analyze and see what happens.

Worst case you could just delete everything in pg_statistic, reindex it,
do a database-wide ANALYZE to repopulate it.  By definition there's not
any original data in that table...
