BTW, it'd be nice if autovac didn't simply abort and restart with the prior tables that were successfully vacuumed, but rather was able to continue on after the error to the next table. As it is, it starves the others but autovac just keeps banging it's head against the wall, consuming lots of I/O and accomplishing little. Maybe that's part of the 8.2 fixes I haven't kept up with? Ed
