Hello, An autovacuum deamon has been installed as a Windows service during the setup of my PG 8.0.3 server on WinXP. I am surprised because I believed that autovacuum was only available in 8.1 server. There is no autovacuum_XXX parameters in postgresql.conf... How can I be sure that autovacuum is correctly working ? If it is the case, how is it configured ? Can I rely on this service or have I to periodicaly launch vacuumdb instead ? Can anybody help me... Thanks ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
