We were trying to create an index on a big table. The create index command ran for nearly 5 hours at which point we decided to interrupt it. Since this was interrupted, any operations attempted on the table on which the index was being created gives following error in pgsql log: LOG: all server processes terminated; reinitializing shared memory and semaphor es LOG: database system was interrupted at 2009-10-16 10:44:54 BST LOG: checkpoint record is at 150/71A0C0CC LOG: redo record is at 150/71A0C0CC; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE LOG: next transaction id: 1757299460; next oid: 43508941 LOG: database system was not properly shut down; automatic recovery in progress LOG: ReadRecord: record with zero length at 150/71A0C10C LOG: redo is not required LOG: database system is ready Any idea what this means and what we need to do to resolve access to this table again? We can see the next oid number increases over time. Access to all other tables in the database is fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks Neha.
