Your subject line of "Broke PostgreSQL" is misleading, since you don't have any PostgreSQL databases. You appear to have 2 Disk databases. The standard default local disk database, and one called externaldb, on storage location: /Volumes/Untitled/DaVinci DB
What I see is that all was working OK at 11:35 on 3-22.
Then at 11:40 a project save attempt failed due to a full hard drive. For the next 8 minutes several more failed project save attempts. Then it crashed.
At 11:49, Resolve launched again, and Project Diane Video 4a (the project that failed multiple saves above) was loaded. Happy to see it made it through all the failed saves above.
At 11:50, the next project save attempt failed, due to the full hard disk. It tried for the next 9 minutes to save the project, then apparently crashed again, at 11:59.
At 12:00, attempted Resolve launch failed. Over the next 52 minutes, 24 more failed launch attemtps.
It seems by 12:00 the system was in too much distress to even launch Resolve.
And now, the Resolve Preferences config files are borked. One borked at 11:58 and one at 12:19. Maybe one from the disk full and one from a reinstall attempt? Can't tell.
I'm not in a position to look at the Mac spx file over the weekend. So I can't tell the status of your storage. But, is the system drive full, or is there plenty of free space on that. And is your external drive full, or plenty of space?
From a backup copy of one of the config files, this was the first location in Resolve Prefs - Media Storage: /Users/zcseverson/Movies Be aware that the cache and Gallery files will go to that path by default. That would be an easy way to fill up the system drive, which is what I'm suspecting you did. If so, you need to clean that up.
Are you concerned with any of your existing Resolve projects. If not, the best thing to do, after clearing up space on the system drive, would be to do a "clean" Resolve install. Below is a process for that, but be aware that it will wipe ALL Resolve project and config data from your system.
Clean Resolve Install on Mac (Wipes all Resolve data!!!)
Start by uninstalling Resolve, with the Uninstall selection in the DaVinci Resolve folder in the Mac Applications folder.
Next, in Finder, trash the /Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve folder.
Then trash the /Library/Preferences/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve folder.
Then install Resolve 15.3
Launch Resolve and the onboarding video will run, then the Quick Setup option, which you should do, then hopefully Resolve runs again.
Good luck.
