Of course I meant that is contained in "vacuumlo" --> stupid spell checker auto-corrected it. -----Original Message----- From: Dann Corbit Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 2:24 PM To: pgsql-general@postgresql.org Subject: Contrib question Is there any functionality contained in vacuum that is not contained in pg_autovacuum? Suggestion: Modify the base schema for tables and add a timestamp column for the last vacuum operation, and a timestamp for the last vacuum analyze. Finally, a timestamp for the last time that the data was modified via insert update or delete would be handy (but I realize that this timestamp might be problematic). With that data, a crude autovacuum could be generated periodically whether or not statistics were enabled. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
