Обсуждение: Scanning the PGSQL DB

Hi,

I am using PSQL on RedHat Linux 6.2...version given below.
[PostgreSQL 7.4.2 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC egcs-2.91.6]

I inserted a new DB with somewhere around 200 tables and each table
having some 100 entries. The table insertion went fine.
But I wanted to know whether the DB is perfect ...I mean my DB is not
corrupted. Are there any tools/commands to check whether my DB is not
corrupted?

Once I did a kill -9 <postgres pids> and my DB got corrupted. I am
looking
for some tools that will say the status of my DB.
Thanks in advance,
Anil.

No specific ones. You can always do normal selects and see if you get
the results you expected.

That should not happen. Were you running with syncing disabled?

Thanks for the reply.
I can do a select of some basic tables, but I was looking for some
scanner sort of thing.
I am not running with the disabled sync.
