My machine just crashed in the middle of an update.

When I restart the postgresql server the database engine appears ok and the=
n tells me that a file /data/pg_clog/0697 is not there.=20

I presume that these are the transaction log files.=20
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

Richard Sydney-Smith
