Thanks, but this is exactly my point: since inactive databases are getting older, why it appears to me that autovacuum is not freezing them? I mean, in my experiment age( datfrozenzid) reports the same age for every database, even the inactive ones. And since there were inactive databases, I was expecting emergency autovacuum to be able to run and freeze them. Or am I wrong? Luca
