That doesn't look bad on the surface --- only 1% dead rows --- but the very large number of unused item pointers indicates that at some point in the past the table had either a whole lot of dead rows, or a much larger number of live rows than it does now. I'm still going to bet that the problem comes down to inadequate vacuuming. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
