Does anybody know if it is possible to create a set of *blank* WAL files =
for PostgreSQL 8.1, knowing that the database was safely shut down and =
all data is in tact?
The reason is that during the weekend I failed our master database over =
to our disaster recovery site, put that in read only mode, whilst I =
upgraded the master database, and after completing the upgrade and =
shutting the master down, I some how messed up re-connecting DRDB and =
lost all the new WAL files. From that point on the master would not =
start-up for obvious reasons, but I knew there were no pending =
transactions to be rolled forward in the WAL files, yet without a valid =
WAL file its impossible to start PostgreSQL.
Thanks in advance,
regards
Donald Fraser
