Hi Maybe you must reset the WAL's ( http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/interactive/app-pgresetxlog.html ) after restoring from tarball if postgres doesn't start. Am Donnerstag, den 30.06.2005, 07:34 +0200 schrieb jehan: So I must one way or another run a 7.3, restore the file from the tarball

Actually, I haven't done such thing, yet. However the intended method or a possible way is this: Manage schema-snapshots and put them in VCS Keep a file of changes with version stamps (also in VCS). Document each change to the db (so SQL commands you issue to change its struct). So one can

Just turned syslog logging on on a Linux box, and the queries are coming through like: ^Iincident, building, location, category, remark, building_access,^M with the control characters in them ... it doesn't do this on my FreeBSD box, so figure I'm mis-configuring something in syslog itself

I'm currently testing PITR features of 8.0 release. I followed the steps given by the documentation and thus deleted the WAL files in pg_xlog after having restored the database. But when I put the recovery.conf file and try to start postgres, it fails. The log file says : 2005-06-30 17:57:50
