I spoke with the developer, he claims not to have done anything to the DB. so i don't know how to reproduce the state. (but i do get the error every time i use pg_dump on the DB). it seems that this DB is mainly used as a target for junit testing. Also, i don't know if this is related but I'm seeing quite a few: Feb 9 17:04:17 db001 postgres-9[21285]: [28-1] user=,db=,pid=21285,2011-02-09 17:04:17 UTC WARNING: PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag was incorrectly set in relation "test_event_result_fact" page 4223 Feb 9 17:04:17 db001 postgres-9[21285]: [29-1] user=,db=,pid=21285,2011-02-09 17:04:17 UTC WARNING: PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag was incorrectly set in relation "test_event_result_fact" page 4224 Feb 9 17:04:17 db001 postgres-9[21285]: [30-1] user=,db=,pid=21285,2011-02-09 17:04:17 UTC WARNING: PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag was incorrectly set in relation "test_event_result_fact" page 4225 Feb 9 17:04:17 db001 postgres-9[21285]: [31-1] user=,db=,pid=21285,2011-02-09 17:04:17 UTC WARNING: PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag was incorrectly set in relation "test_event_result_fact" page 4226 Feb 9 17:04:17 db001 postgres-9[21285]: [32-1] user=,db=,pid=21285,2011-02-09 17:04:17 UTC WARNING: PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag was incorrectly set in relation "test_event_result_fact" page 4227 Feb 9 17:04:17 db001 postgres-9[21285]: [33-1] user=,db=,pid=21285,2011-02-09 17:04:17 UTC WARNING: PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag was incorrectly set in relation "test_event_result_fact" page 4228 Feb 9 17:04:17 db001 postgres-9[21285]: [34-1] user=,db=,pid=21285,2011-02-09 17:04:17 UTC WARNING: PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag was incorrectly set in relation "test_event_result_fact" page 4229 It seems like a system process is reporting it, i tried to vacuum all of my DBs to try to narrow down which DB it's in - didn't generate the error. I suppose it's possible that the process is fixing the data and then it gets broken again. Any pointers would be helpful!
