Every time I use the server I get this message from postmaster

FATAL 1: Database "template0" is not currently accepting connections

How can I correct this condition??

pg_dump sequence START incorrect?

Hello,

When I perform a pg_dump of any database (PG 7.1.3) the CREATE
SEQUENCE calls are incorrect. They all use 'start 1', thus resetting
the sequence at the beginning. Is this the desired functionality? I
would think that it should set the sequence at the max value of the
column +1. Am I missing something?

Brent

Yes, the setval() commands executed later on ...

polygon info

I have a table created with an attribute of polygon datatype.

7.2 seems to have overcome a tuple size limit in 7.1.x which is nice.

The doc's don't go into much detail about geometric operators & functions.

Can PG return the area of a polygon? The docs suggest it can (at least
for box data), but this suggests it can't.

geotest=# select area(list)from test1;
ERROR: Function 'area(polygon)' does not exist
Unable to identify a function that satisfies the given argument
types
You may need to add explicit typecasts

Boxing the polygon to return the area won't quite do what I want :-)

Also, is there any further info available on indexing & performance
tweaking for geometric datatypes?

Thanks....
