To recap: - your app only does inserts - there has been no rollback lately - there are no updates - there are no deletes The only other source of dead rows I can think is triggers ... do you have any?

Oh, rolled back COPY can cause dead rows too. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.PlanetPostgreSQL.org/ "Before you were born your parents weren't as boring as they are now.
