Bonjour a Tous, There is an AUTOVACUUM capability embedded within PostgreSQL 8.2 (fedora core 7, postgresql-8.2.5-1.fc7) How/where can I see in the log if indeed Autovacuum started itself?? How can I trigger Autovacuum execution (as it will do by itself)??? Here is the relevant part of my postgresql.conf ;---------------------------------- #to have autovacuum started autovacuum = true autovacuum_naptime = 1min #debug flag log_min_messages = debug2 client_min_messages = debug2 ;----------------------------------- After days my DB intense activity, I have no proof autovacuum started itself... What am I missing here? Thanks for help or hints. -- A bientôt ========================================================================== Jean-Marc Pigeon Internet: jmp@xxxxxxx SAFE Inc.
