What is GDB (GNU Debugger)?
GDB, the GNU Debugger, is a powerful debugging tool that provides inspection and modification features for applications written in various programming languages, including C, C++, and Fortran. GDB can be used alongside PostgreSQL for investigating backend processes and identifying potential issues that might not be apparent at the application level.
