I don't know if my tables count as 'large' or not, but I've gotten some good mileage in the past out of time-based partitioning and setting higher compression levels on old tables. Also the ability to drop-and-reload a day is sometimes useful, but I grant that it would be better to never need to do that. -C. -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
