Run a vacuum verbose against table "mrp" and see if it's got a lot of dead rows. If it has, run VACUUM FULL and REINDEX against it and see if that solves your problem. I'm guessing you have / had a long-running transaction interfering with vacuum on this table, or perhaps a bulk update/delete? -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
