HINT: Please REINDEX it.
Hi,
When i start the postgres DB , it starts properly. but when i am
trying to connect to it . it shows a pop up with the error message
"Error connecting to the server: FATAL: index "pg_class_oid_index"
contains unexpected zero page at block 0
HINT: Please REINDEX it."
i tried starting the database using --single --P option , but says it
cannot be started with user as admin.
Any pointers on how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
nsalam

Don't bother with single-user mode. There's an example on the REINDEX
reference page:
$ export PGOPTIONS="-P"
$ psql broken_db
...
broken_db=> REINDEX DATABASE broken_db;
broken_db=> \q
(Not sure how to translate this to Windows, which reading between the
lines I suspect you're using. But Windows does have environment
variables so I suppose there's a way.)
