Using PostSQL 7.4 on a linux server, we have one postgres instance with two
databases, "gex_runtime" and "mq_geoloc." We had a mishap in which we ran out
of disk space. The failure occured in writing to the gex_runtime database.
Then an unfortunate slip of an admin's keyboard led to the deletion of the
gex_runtime data itself under the $PGDATA directory. As far as I can tell the
mq_geoloc database files (about 3 gigs worth) were undamaged.
We moved the mq_geoloc files to a safe location, and now have taken a copy of
the runtime database from another server and recreated our server as far as the
runtime database goes.
My question is whether there is anyway of retrieving the old geoloc database ?
Or is my reading of these files total out-of-line with reality ?
If not it's not a crisis -- just a matter of time rebuilding table and
reindexing it, but if there's a faster way I'd be willing to try it.
Thanks for your time,
