I'd think starting a standalone backend and issuing a "reindex database" should be enough to get him started. Now, the problem is figuring _how_ the index got in that state; or even _what_ index is the problematic one. (I think it would be possible to find out by setting the "log_error_verbosity" parameter to "verbose"). If it's a hardware problem, one would think it deserves some diagnosis. It could be the btree bug Tom fixed last week, but I'm not sure if this is really a consequence of it. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
