Has anyone considered something like "reportbug" in Debian which collects a certain amount of information about the system and then creates an email with the information included. Of perhaps a pg_buginfo like this: $ pg_buginfo Platform: blah Version: blah Compiler: blah etc... FrozenXID: blah Encoding: blah Locale: blah Which could then be cut and paste into an email or the bug form. Maybe with optional table name it would provide more info about just that table. Or if you provide a query it generates explain output.=20 Obviously it won't work in situations where the system is completely broken.
