I could start the postmaster after doing
pg_resetxlog .
The docs tell that a dump reload of the database should be done.
I am trying to do that by starting a new postmaster in a seprate port
and using pg_dumpall
while i do that i get some minor errors like
ALTER USER arvind SET search_path TO 'erp';
ERROR: schema "erp" does not exist
and some ownership related errors like
SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION 'rt_user';
SET
........
........
CREATE INDEX attachments1 ON attachments USING btree (parent);
ERROR: must be owner of relation attachments
Following are the grant sequence on table attachments
obtained by grepping the output
REVOKE ALL ON TABLE attachments FROM PUBLIC;
REVOKE ALL ON TABLE attachments FROM rt_user;
GRANT ALL ON TABLE attachments TO postgres WITH GRANT OPTION;
GRANT ALL ON TABLE attachments TO rt_user;
is it some bug with pg_dumpall/pg_dump ?
i am using 7.4.1 btw , shall now try with 7.4.3
