There is a reindex command, but I don't know if it will recreate an index that doesn't even exist anymore and creating system indexes can be tricky. I think the only way to do that is to start a standalone backend with the -O flag and recreate the index. The description I have for the index is: Indexes: pg_statistic_relid_att_index unique btree (starelid, staattnum) -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026

But I'm no expert on this either, so you might want to wait for someone else more experienced to chime in. Good luck! Joe
hi, thanks for you quick reply... trying to create the index in stand-alone mode delivers error: index allready exists trying to drop the index delivers: notice: relationBuildDesc: can't open pg_statistic_relid_att_index: No such file or diretory notice: cannot unlink 16556/15835646 then again trying to create the index delivers: FATAL 2: could not open /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_clog/0FF2: no such file or directory DEBUG: shutting down DEBUG: system has been shut down (FYI: system messages translated from german) this didn't quite help yet ... other ideas ?

Use initdb to build ANOTHER database, leaving your existing one in tact. Study the difference between the new on and yours. Next copy some missing files from the new one. The error messages sound like an "fopen" someplace is failing, posably if the fopen worked it may proceed to do its re-index??? I think what this shows us it that we need something like an "fsck" for databases. It should be possable to salvage anything that is salvageable. This would have to be a stand alone program that would run with no postmaster running. Maybe called "pgck". I've had problems like this too and much hand work was required to repair the damage. Fortunately I logged all my source data in a way I could "play it back" but in general you can't do that. --- Bruce Momjian <pgman@candle.pha.pa.us> wrote: > Henrik Steffen wrote: > > > > Hello Tom, anyone, please help me urgently: > > > > select * from ANY_TABLE_IN_MY_DB; > > > > ALWAYS GIVES: > > > > ERROR: cannot open pg_statistic_relid_att_index: No such file or > directory > > > > this is happening in my LIVE System!! how can I repair this quickly > ? > > > > or is only an initb possible? > > > > thanks in advance > > > > ps. > > it's certainly still due to the memory problem.
