I think 8.2 will start to complain about this much earlier than older versions (~ 100M transactions by default, instead of 1000M). Though you've probably got a problem here in any case. > What's been done so far: > -Cluster-wide vacuum (these are done nightly, I ran one again just for gp) Not relevant > -Ran the following query looking for old/suspicious > connections/transactions, didn't find anything useful: > select procpid, datname, client_addr, usename, current_query, > query_start from pg_stat_activity order by query_start asc; Most likely the problem transaction is sitting idle and hence has null query_start. Try "ps auxww" or local equivalent and look for postgres processes that are very old and are in "idle in transaction" state. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
