Hi, I'm just curious about a VACUUM plan of this table: 1st) When to do VAUUM? 2nd) How often to do VACUUM? 3rd) With which postgresql.conf paremeters to set up vacuum? 4th) When to do a VACUUM FULL? 5th) Can autovacuum of 8.1 be used in this case? I'm a little bit afraid about the size of the table, but I think somebody should have a solution... Here is the complete ANALYZE output of the table: INFO: "tbl1": scanned 300 of 27744713 pages, containing 10802 live rows and 0 dead rows; 300 rows in sample, 998994633 estimated total rows The size of the data is 340 GB, this are 40% of the disk-array. Thanks is advance. Marco
