Hi All: My Server list below postgres=# select version(); version ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- PostgreSQL 8.4.2 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44), 64-bit (1 row) I use another way to solve this issue. The table is partition table, I will create this partition table before insert data. The freezemaxid will be smaller than others, so that the partition table will be last one that been vacuum. Use this sql to check SELECT relname, age(relfrozenxid) FROM pg_class WHERE relkind = 'r' order by 2; I also adjust the postgresql.conf three parameters. This will cause that my partition table will not reach the max_age in a short time. autovacuum_freeze_max_age = 2000000000 vacuum_freeze_min_age = 10000000 vacuum_freeze_table_age = 150000000 As far as now that my partition table drop run normal, without autovacuum prevent wraparound interrupt.

Hi All: The autovacuum (prevent wraparound) still run more than 36 hours, I can not drop the partition table after adjust the autovacuum parameters. If a table is running autovacuum (prevent wraparound), can I purge this table? If not, what else I can do for clean this partition table? If the table is running autovacuum (prevent wraparound), can I use pg_dump to backup it? Will the Transaction ID Wraparound Failures happen while table has been restored into new DB?
