Hi, i've a database that work perfectly until yesterday, that when i try to access into database from every commands like: "psql -U postgres db_name" Postgresql gives me an error: "server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request. " This happens only when i try to access into this database, because when i try to access into "template1" database it works perfectly, without errors. My question is this: There is a method to recovery, dump, check... or other, my database from "/var/lib/postgresql" cluster directory, without using service/daemon applications?
