Hi, first of all: there is no need to cross post on 4 lists. If you have a performance problem, post on pgsql-performance. Second, please tell us which version of PostgreSQL on which operating system you're using. Diagnosing your problem might depend on which OS you use... Finally, explain what you mean by "the age of template0 is increasing very rapidly", you mean "the size is increasing"? Bye, Chris. -- Chris Mair http://www.1006.org
