1. Core dump when connecting to database

   Pgsql Users,
   
   I get the following message when trying to connect to database using psql or
   the ODBC driver.
   
   Connection to database 'warehouse' failed.
   pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.
           This probably means the backend terminated abnormally
           before or while processing the request.
   
   and also a core dump in the 'warehouse' database directory. I can connect to
   other databases normally.
   
   I think the problem started when an admin user was creating a new view & had
   trouble.
   
   Can anyone help me with the syntax to get the postmaster to log more
   information on the error to a file?
   
   Is there any other way to get in & try to identify & fix the problems?
   
   Thanks for any help you can give me,
   
   Steve Shaffer

   Where are your postmaster logs going?  (where is your startup redirecting
   stdout and stderr).  Those may have additional information.
   Also, can you get a backtrace from the core file with gdb?
