PostgreSQL version is 8.2.14. It should, as it should vacuum any other table. Perhaps all the routine autovacuums were killed because of locking issues.

Would it be locked more frequently than other system catalogs? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
