Re: [PERFORM] Duplicate user in pg_shadow
I tried to delete the user from the pg_user but couldnt. This username is being duplicated so we have the same 2 records. What is the cause ? Is it due to memory or wrong configuration? Maybe it's an index corruption issue. Try reindexing the pg_shadow table, based on the instructions here: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/sql-reindex.html Chris ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

Are you certain the server isn't 7.1 or older? regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
