It would be helpful to see what that statement was that you replaced with the ellipsis. I you don't already have log_autovacuum_min_duration set to 0 (or something very close to it) on the primary, I recommend you set that; it would be useful to see if this corresponds to a vacuum on the table. What is your maintenance_work_mem setting on the primary? Does increasing it change the behavior? (You may want to jack that up really high for diagnostic purposes.) If you can associate the problem with a particular table, seeing the definition of that table wouldn't hurt, either. Oh, and please update to 9.3.6; there are some nasty bugs fixed. -- Kevin Grittner EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
