Hi
Perhaps, if you want to avoid I/O caused by temp tables (but it's not at checkpoint time, so perhaps this has nothing to do with your problem), you could try raising temp_buffers.
How can I find out if temp_buffers is being exceeded ? -- Adrian Moisey System Administrator | CareerJunction | Your Future Starts Here.
