We have an old postgres installation (8.3) running on windows 2003
The server run perfect for many years but today it crash L
We have a very old backup so I’ll try desperate to repair.
If I can’t repair I want to skip the error and start server with only healthy data, no matter if I lose some table page, entire table or even entire database because the server has many databases inside.
Currently the database is not starting, when I try to start I got the in the log:
