I'm getting the following errors and I'm not quite sure what to do at this point. The database is very large and I can't get it to accept commands. Please help! maindb =# create table test1(); ERROR: database is not accepting commands to avoid wraparound data loss in database "maindb" HINT: Stop the postmaster and use a standalone backend to vacuum database "maindb". You might also need to commit or roll back old prepared transactions.
