Well, a vacuum on the entire DB seemed to have cleaned things up. No other user was logged into the server, and I certainly did not send the signal.
I did clean up the serverlog file by truncating it ( > serverlog) while the DB was running, I don't think it liked that since it crashed the DB. I've done this on my Linux server many times and it never complained. I won't be doing that again. -Don On Apr 11, 2005 1:29 AM, Tom Lane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Don Drake <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > My server is crashing on a delete statement. > > Here's the error message in the log file: > > > LOG: 00000: received fast shutdown request > > LOCATION: pmdie, postmaster.c:1736 > > That says that something sent the postmaster a SIGINT signal. > I think it's highly unlikely that the DELETE statement did it. > > regards, tom lane > -- Donald Drake President Drake Consulting http://www.drakeconsult.com/ http://www.MailLaunder.com/ http://www.mobilemeridian.com/ 312-560-1574 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
