In versions earlier than 8.4 you had to manually insert a tuple in the pg_autovacuum catalog, with its "enabled" flag set to false and ensure that all other settings are -1 (not zero). In 8.4 and up, just do ALTER TABLE foo SET (autovacuum_enabled = false) See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/sql-createtable.html#SQL-CREATETABLE-STORAGE-PARAMETERS for docs. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
