(Please CC me on any replies as I'm not on the list) Hi, After a recent power failure, a program that uses a pgsql backend (netdisco) started to send me nastygrams. I tried the author's suggestion of running a VACUUM FULL ANALYZE VERBOSE;, but it still sends me the messages. The data in the database isn't too important, i.e. I'm willing to blow away data to try to fix the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help and thanks on behalf of my whole department for postgresql.

After that I would end up posting the same question on one of the postgres mailing lists. -m On Thu, Apr 15, 2004 at 04:02:54PM -0700, Mike Hunter wrote: > Hey everybody, > > I can't really blame netdisco for this one; we had a power outage and this > machine went down ungracefully.
