Well, the database is also showing a hint when less then 9 million transactions are available - and this hint is telling us to vacuum the whole database. If, vacuum the whole database, would take days (quite unsure how many days sometimes) is it possible to find out manually which tables originally need a vacuum or is the xid wraparound problem database wide so we MUST vacuum the whole database? The automatic startup of autovacuum in this cases is really good, but we would like to manage vacuum by ourself, especially WHEN it is running, because we have different load times on different database servers depending on time zones and the users using it. > It is normal if the database is in danger of Xid wraparound. (So now > you know have been neglecting to vacuum some tables). > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
