Sorry if this has been covered already, I haven't had any luck searching and finding a solution.
I have a database which appears to have some corruption in a toast value.
When I select a certain table, I get the following error:
ERROR: invalid page header in block 984 of relation "pg_toast_17341_index"
I am new enough to PG that I am having some troubles navigating around the system tables and being able to do anything useful.
This error seems to be preventing a vacuum, reindex, and PGCOPY from going through on the database.
I wrote a little script to fetch this table row by row until I hit an error, and I think this has narrowed it down to a specific row, although trying to fetch a row beyond this also gave this error (I am hoping that is a side effect of the problem and that not the rest of the table is lost).
What is the best course of action to try and fix this and recover the data? I am not concerned with recovering the particular row that appears to be having problems, but the rest of the data in the table is important.
Thanks a lot for any help on this,
Michael.
