Unless somebody else yells, I'd just go straight to 8.2.14 and do the REINDEX if it's needed. It's not going to hurt doing a reindex even if you don't have any GiST or Hash indexes, btree indexes can become unbalanced (i.e. take more space than is needed) in some rare situations and a rebuild won't hurt. You can run: SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size(regclass 'indexname')); to see how much space is taken by the index before and after to see if you want to see if you're hitting this. -- Sam http://samason.me.uk/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
