Yeah, it sounds like you did it right, and anyway the block ids prove this is the right block --- the forward links in HOT-updated tuples have to point to the same block. I'm just completely baffled at this point. The data appears perfectly okay according to pg_filedump, and if pg_filedump can read the page then the backend should be able to as well. Just to confirm, if you try to select any of these rows by ctid, ie select * from tablename where ctid = '(603713,1)'; you get nothing? What *should* happen is that you get the row if you mention offset 1, 3, or 5, but nothing if you say 2 or 4. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
