Hi,
i use postgresql version7.4.7 on i386-pc-linux-gnu, autovacuum is
configured to run on this database.
But recently, we lost data for a database, we were able to connect the
database but we couldn't see any table anymore.
I suspected a transaction ID wraparound, and to fix it, i just
imported data from a dump file.
I tried to execute the following query:
SELECT datname, age(datfrozenxid) FROM pg_database where age(datfrozenxid)<0;
template1=# SELECT datname, age(datfrozenxid) FROM pg_database where
age(datfrozenxid)<0;
datname | age
------------------------------------------+-------------
template0 | -597653514
ez_info1 | -205024652
XtDB | -205024658
Does the negative value of age means that a transaction ID wraparound
has already occured?
Doing a manual vacuumdb on each database raise an error message saying:
vacuumdb: vacuuming of database "ez_info1" failed: ERREUR: not enough
stack items
Have you an idea about what is happening,
Thank you for any suggestion.
