Basically until reboot. Well, the bug report that just went by proves there's another problem: : select version(); : : "PostgreSQL 8.2.1 on i686-pc-mingw32, compiled by GCC gcc.exe (GCC) : 3.4.2 (mingw-special)" : : pg_log: : : 2007-01-12 17:23:16 PANIC: could not open control file : "global/pg_control": Permission denied pg_control is certainly not ever deleted or renamed, and in fact I believe there's an LWLock enforcing that only one PG process at a time is even touching it. So we need another theory to explain this one :-( ... anyone have a better one than "Windows is a piece of junk"? regards, tom lane
