Re: Help, server doesn't start

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:

 

2012-06-25 02:22:33 GMT LOG:  database system was interrupted while in recovery at 2012-06-25 02:22:26 GMT

2012-06-25 02:22:33 GMT HINT:  This probably means that some data is corrupted and you will have to use the last backup for recovery.
