No, I do not have WAL archiving. I hope some one have done the hacking in postmaster. If no one have done this, my idea was to change the vacuum (or make e new copy). I am not familiar with pg code, but as I know by running vacuum, pg marks deleted records as free, and my idea was to mark this records as real record in the database (if it is possible). regards, ivan. > Ivan, > > if you have configured WAL archiving, you may want to > look at > http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/backup-online.html, > especially paragraph '23.3..4.
