Hi,
We are using PostgreSQL 8.3 on Windows Server.
The db crashed and now it fails to start up.
The error is:
FATAL: could not access status of transaction 4020264
DETAIL: Could not read from file "pg_clog/0003" at offset 212992: No error.
Additional log from event viewer:
LOG: database system was interrupted; last known up at 2012-07-12 11:35:00 CEST
How can we recover from the current state?
Please perform below steps:
1. Backup the current pg_clog/0003 file in different directory
2. Create a file by assumption of make the uncommitted record as they haven't been committed. command as follows:
dd if=/dev/zero of=<data directory location>/pg_clog/0003 bs=256K count=1
3. Start the Cluster
