Recently I had a problem where a system crash scribbed on some directories, which landed a bunch of files, including a few of the system table files for one of my databases, in lost+found along with a zillion other files.
I might be able to find the file for this table/index in lost+found, but how do I know what name to give it in /var/lib/postgres/...? These files are named after OID's which I can't find because I can't connect to the database. If I can't get the file back, is there any way I can dump the data out of the remaining tables? Currently, I can't connect to the database with the following error: psql: FATAL 1: cannot open pg_class_relname_index: No such file or directory I suspect that's very bad, considering the centrality of the pg_class table... -- Brian Ristuccia [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
