I have Postgres 8 running on Windows XP
The size of data subdirectory is 326 MB
Today morning suddenly one table in one database, firma1.klient is
corrupted. When trying to backup it using pgAdmin III I get the log below
and backup is not created.
I have:
1. Compressed backup of the whole database as of 15.7
2. Compressed backup of the firma1 schema of this database as of 19.7 where
corrupted table klient resides.
How to get the database back working by repairing firma1.klient table or by
restoring this from schema backup.
Why Postgres crashes ? I use default postgres.conf file which has probably
fsync on
