当PostgreSQL遇到重大故障,使用各种方法都无法直接启动数据库，可以考虑使用类似oracle dul工具,直接离线方式读取文件进行恢复.这个工具为pg_filedump
pg_filedump安装

[root@xifenfei ~]# yum install pg_filedump_14.x86_64

Version 14.1 (for PostgreSQL 8.x .. 14.x)
Copyright (c) 2002-2010 Red Hat, Inc.
Copyright (c) 2011-2022, PostgreSQL Global Development Group

Usage: pg_filedump [-abcdfhikxy] [-R startblock [endblock]] [-D attrlist] [-S blocksize] [-s segsize] [-n segnumber] file

Display formatted contents of a PostgreSQL heap/index/control file
Defaults are: relative addressing, range of the entire file, block
               size as listed on block 0 in the file

The following options are valid for heap and index files:
  -a  Display absolute addresses when formatting (Block header
      information is always block relative)
  -b  Display binary block images within a range (Option will turn
      off all formatting options)
  -d  Display formatted block content dump (Option will turn off
      all other formatting options)
  -D  Decode tuples using given comma separated list of types
      Supported types:
        bigint bigserial bool char charN date float float4 float8 int
        json macaddr name numeric oid real serial smallint smallserial text
        time timestamp timestamptz timetz uuid varchar varcharN xid xml
      ~ ignores all attributes left in a tuple
  -f  Display formatted block content dump along with interpretation
  -h  Display this information
  -i  Display interpreted item details
  -k  Verify block checksums
  -o  Do not dump old values.
  -R  Display specific block ranges within the file (Blocks are
      indexed from 0)
        [startblock]: block to start at
        [endblock]: block to end at
      A startblock without an endblock will format the single block
  -s  Force segment size to [segsize]
  -t  Dump TOAST files
  -v  Ouput additional information about TOAST relations
  -n  Force segment number to [segnumber]
  -S  Force block size to [blocksize]
  -x  Force interpreted formatting of block items as index items
  -y  Force interpreted formatting of block items as heap items

The following options are valid for control files:
  -c  Interpret the file listed as a control file
  -f  Display formatted content dump along with interpretation
  -S  Force block size to [blocksize]
Additional functions:
  -m  Interpret file as pg_filenode.map file and print contents (all
      other options will be ignored)
