However, you can get some measure of tracking my running VACUUM VERBOSE on a regular basis to see how well autovacuum is keeping up. There's no problem with running manual vacuum and autovacuum together, and you'll be able to gather _some_ information about how well autovacuum is keeping up. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc. http://people.collaborativefusion.com/~wmoran/ wmoran@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Phone: 412-422-3463x4023
