Hello,

The datfrozenxid bug is fixed in 8.3.4,
but do I need additional operations after upgrade postgres binaries?

| Fix potential miscalculation of datfrozenxid (Alvaro)
|   This error may explain some recent reports of failure
|   to remove old pg_clog data. 

I assume that pg_database.datfrozenxid is wrongly set to 3
(FirstNormalTransactionId) if the bug has occurred.

  1. Can I use the following SQL to check whether the bug has occurred?
        SELECT * FROM pg_database WHERE datfrozenxid = 3
     (will return some rows under the bug.)

  2. What is needed to fix the corrupted system catalog,
     something like the following SQL?
        UPDATE pg_database SET datfrozenxid = relfrozenxid
          FROM (SELECT relfrozenxid FROM pg_class
                 WHERE relkind IN ('r', 't')
                 ORDER BY age(relfrozenxid) DESC LIMIT 1) AS tmp
         WHERE datname = current_database();

Regards,
