Re: Some Problems - Shall I reinstall the DB?

In regarding of log message, I get the following error message on my application for the connection problem and there is NOT any error messages in the PG log file. It is the same with DbVisualizer - not error messages in the PG log file.

When I try to access PG from PC command prompt with the psql command, I get the following error message:

psql: server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably mean the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request.

This time a error message shows up in the PG log file: "FATAL: could not reattach to shared memory (key=5432001, addr=011D0000): Invalid argument"

As I can tell, the PG log file doesn't tell the whole story. The version of PG is 8.0.

So know we know it is a generic connection problem. Is there information
in the Postgres logs that might be helpful?

Again is there any information generated in the logs when you try to
connect to that table? Another thing to check is whether the max id in
the table is greater then the last value for the sequence associated
with that table. Could be id(s) got inserted without using the sequence.

At this time reinstalling the DB would seem to be excessive. There is no
guarantee that the problem won't just appear again with out knowing what
is in the first place.
