So now that a patch is in the works, can I drop the two corrupted
databases? Is there a workaround I can use to reduce the risk of running
into this issue again until a patch is released? (Which I guess would be
in August?)
The only work around to avoid losing data that I know of are backups and WAL backups.
Plus "hard core testing/validation" that they work. We settled on pg_backrest and are happy with it.
Technically, based on what I understand of this bug. It did not corrupt the WAL. If that's true, then if
you had a basebackup and all the wall files, you could have played back and recovered the data.
At least to some degree. Assuming I am right.
