I am trying to get my head around what causes catalog corruption. I
have posted before with regard to recovering from corruptions (if that
is what indeed happened to me), and was given much help.

Does anyone know why a database catalog will get corrupted? As I
mentioned previously, my db involves considerable use of temporary
tables created by php-psql connections. Other than that, I don't know
of too much that is "odd" about my use (misuse) of the database.

Thanks,
r.b.
