The problem: 1) I create a stupid function like: CREATE FUNCTION p4() RETURNS integer AS ' BEGIN FOR i IN 1..1000000 LOOP insert into info values (random(),random()); END LOOP; RETURN 1; END; ' LANGUAGE plpgsql;
2) I create a new db and run "select p4();" 3) I open three connection to the same db and start operation as "begin work; select p4(); update info set data=RANDOM();commit;" "create index gino on info(x);" "begin work; update info set data=RANDOM();" Well, db schema is nothink more than this: create table info(meta text, data text, id serial primary key); 4) after a lot of work/insert I've got this: LOG: recycled transaction log file "00000002000000B0" LOG: recycled transaction log file "00000002000000B2" LOG: recycled transaction log file "00000002000000B3" ERROR: could not access status of transaction 859388209 DETAIL: open of file "/home/gelma/pg4/bin/../db/pg_clog/0333" failed: No such file or directory ERROR: could not access status of transaction 859388209 DETAIL: open of file "/home/gelma/pg4/bin/../db/pg_clog/0333" failed: No such file or directory siae=# ERROR: could not access status of transaction 859388209 DETAIL: open of file "/home/gelma/pg4/bin/../db/pg_clog/0333" failed: No such file or directory I can reproduce this over and over... The real problem is my configuration: a linux unstable kernel with a debian unstable branch in a shiny new laptop (with no more test than a memtest86). Everything else seems working well, of course it doesn't mean it's not my fault. Anyway, I write to you asking: a) do you think it could be a problem of 7.4beta2 (not a problem of mine)? I remember Tom solved something like this years ago. b) if so, can you show me next steps to narrow down the problem to give you a little help?
