Hi, I have a database (8.1.10 via Ubuntu) that has started reporting: <2008-01-08 08:51:14 EST|>ERROR: could not access status of transaction 707406378 <2008-01-08 08:51:14 EST|>DETAIL: could not open file "pg_clog/02A2": No such file or directory when trying to do an autovacuum. By vacuuming tables individually I have determined that the problem occurs in a table that doesn't contain critical data (basically log information that is kept for a month in case it is useful). Posts I have found in the archive seem to advocate manually trying to create the missing pg_clog file however I would prefer not to fiddle with it manually if there is another way to clear the error. Bearing in mind that I don't particularly need the data in that table can I simply truncate it or drop/recreate it to clear the above error?
