Message-ID: <017b01c3b7c5$7328cd40$61c58690@athlon2000> (raw)

My machine just crashed in the middle of an update.

When I restart the postgresql server the database engine appears ok and then tells me that a file /data/pg_clog/0697 is not there. 

I presume that these are the transaction log files. 
I would like to truncate the old logfiles, re-index and keep going.
I that possible with postgres of do I have to do a full rebuild?

thanks verymuch
