Hello ML, I'm very new to Postgres. In the log, i got messages concerning transaction ID wraparound. I red the documentation and made a vaccum on that database. In the documentation i also found the hint to look in the database with "SELECT datname, age(datfrozenxid) FROM pg_database;", which i did. I did the command several times in a few seconds, and this number is growing very quickly, although i'm not expecting transactions in the database. Sometimes the number grows by 5 in one second. I'm also astonished about the fact that all databases grow by the same amount. Do you have any explanations for this behaviour ? Why are the numbers growing so quickly ? Thanks in advance.
