Hi All,

Our database just reset and now I'm getting Errors in the log and I
would like to know if this is recoverable. Here's the segment of the
log right before and after it reset.

LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection
ERROR: type "t" already exists
ERROR: duplicate key violates unique constraint "pg_type_typname_nsp_index"
ERROR: duplicate key violates unique constraint "pg_type_typname_nsp_index"

This has happened in the past, however the only way I know to fix it is
a dump and restore.

=> select version();
version
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 8.0.0beta5 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.4.2
(1 row)

Thanks
Michael
