Do you concur with that even if we are only resetting the OID > counter? On 7.4 I'd say you'd be better off dumping and reloading all your data than playing with pg_resetxlog on a live database. Might as well update to 7.4.19 while you're at it. I'd run a dump restore to a test machine running 7.4.19 first to make sure it will go well, or get another server that can handle the load, or make a new 7.4.19 instance on the same machine and transfer to that. But if it's a production database I wouldn't run pg_resetxlog on it myself. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
