Data corruption (8.2.5 Windows XP)
After a crash, some data disappeared in some tables.
Furthermore, there is a table with an INTEGER as primary key. One of its
row is corrupted.
All global requests (no WHERE clause) succeed, but each request with a
WHERE clause on the primary acts like this values does not exist.
Example :
SELECT * FROM t_table t; =>
id name ...
1 myname ...
SELECT * FROM t_table t WHERE t.id=1; => no result
Is there a reason for this?
Is there a way to "repair" the database?
Thanks,

I guess your primary key index got damaged. You could try to REINDEX the
table or DROP and recreate the index manually. Perhaps you should do a
backup of your data directory before reindexing your table, so someone
might be able to find out what happend to your database in the first place.
