I tried doing the update to pg_database on my Dev server and I can't get it
to work. How do I calculate the new datminmxid value?
NextMultiXactId: 30349 relminmxid from pg_class for the table: 8376
If I subtract the relminmxid from the nextmulixact I get 21793 which won't
work.
production-copy=# update pg_database set datminmxid=21973 where
datname='production-copy';
ERROR: column "datminmxid" is of type xid but expression is of type integer
