Description : PostgreSQL table checker and dumper
(Include the long description here.)
This program serves three purposes (up tp PG 7.3):
To identify problems with PostgreSQL data files
Occasionally people post to the mailing list saying that doing a
select * from table crashes PostgreSQL. Obviously there's a problem
somewhere. Usually it can be solved by searching for the damaged tuple
and deleting it. This can be time consuming. This program should be
able to identify the right tuple right off. To make it easier for
developers to get examples of corrupted files.
When corruption happens you'd like to know what caused
it. Unfortunatly getting people to attach a table to an email is
impractical and it's difficult to tell the problem from that. One plan
is to provide a way to dump the affected pages to a file, thus making
the problem much easier to find. Dumping program of last resort
Sometimes people do silly things like deleting their xlog or trying to
upgrade their postmaster without doing a pg_dump first. Anyway, since
this program does not require the postmaster to be running, it can
recover data in all sorts of situations where it would otherwise be
difficult.

I was going to package this. However, upstream is dead (last release
July 2003), it only supports PostgreSQL up to 7.3, and it doesn't look
like that's going to change anytime soon. See author's comments:

So I'm closing the ITP: low quality, dead upstream, and doesn't even
work with the version of postgresql in stable.
