Fix Postgres DB

Me being dumb ran the following on my Postgres...
ALTER SYSTEM SET shared_preload_libraries = 'timescaledb,pg_stat_statements';
ALTER SYSTEM SET shared_preload_libraries = 'timescaledb,pg_stat_statements';
which has entered the database into an endless cycle of errors
2023-06-18 00:54:39.469 UTC [1] FATAL: could not access file "timescaledb,pg_stat_statements": No such file or directory
2023-06-18 00:54:39.469 UTC [1] LOG: database system is shut down
2023-06-18 00:54:39.469 UTC [1] FATAL: could not access file "timescaledb,pg_stat_statements": No such file or directory
2023-06-18 00:54:39.469 UTC [1] LOG: database system is shut down
but I can't undo what I did because the DB wont start. How can I fix this?

Don’t think there’s anything you can do here, I’ll tag in the team and see if it’s salvageable

you've tried restarting the database though right?
Connor

Yes. Problem is I changed a configuration variable for DB to point to something that doesn't exist so now the DB won't start at all. It is stuck in an endless restart loop. I ended up creating a new DB and loading a backup from earlier today to restore functionality but I would like to get into this one at least so I can make sure there isnt any new data that needs to be merged into backup

heya, we're aware of your issue, will follow up with a fix soon! do you know the original value of shared_preload_libraries/did you alter it previously?

It should just be 'timescaledb'
ALTER SYSTEM SET shared_preload_libraries = 'timescaledb';
ALTER SYSTEM SET shared_preload_libraries = 'timescaledb';
@rayofbytes any update on this?
