pg_filedump will complain about a bad item pointer (looks like the
message will be something about "Error: Item contents extend beyond block")
the problematic table spans over 3 files (18026 18026.1 and 18026.2).
i made pg_filedump _FILE_ > ~/_FILE_.dump
it went fine
grep -i error ~/*.dump also didn't show anything.
the dumps are quite large:
pgdba@lab02:~$ ls -l *.dump
-rw-r--r-- 1 pgdba pgdba 154631630 2006-04-14 18:03 18026.1.dump
-rw-r--r-- 1 pgdba pgdba 108808017 2006-04-14 18:03 18026.2.dump
-rw-r--r-- 1 pgdba pgdba 161625849 2006-04-14 18:01 18026.dump
what else can i look in it for?
best regards
