Hi folks, here's some new tip for the maillist footers: "if vacuum (from some scripts) doesnt seem to work, have a look at the logfile - you're probably using the wrong login" I just had to learn that's a nice pitfall, if you're trying to do routine vacuum from some php scripts and logging in as someone who's not the table owner ... I wondered why the db doesnt get faster, but when vacuum'ing manually or from pgadmin, I had a gread speedup. Enabling verbose query logging showed up the problem. ... yeah, yeah, ashes on my head ... I'm not getting younger ... ;-) cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service phone: +49 36207 519931 www: http://www.metux.de/ fax: +49 36207 519932 email: contact@xxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- Realtime Forex/Stock Exchange trading powered by postgresSQL :)) http://www.fxignal.net/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
