We run VACUUM ANALYZE as a cron job on PostgreSQL v8.1.3 on an Opteron
box running FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #10. We set statement_timeout to 7200000
in postgresql.conf. Since this task often takes longer than two hours we
encounter the following messages in our log files:
2006-11-30 00:03:31 CST ERROR: canceling statement due to statement timeout
2006-11-30 00:03:31 CST STATEMENT: VACUUM ANALYZE VERBOSE;
No big deal. We simply modified the cron job to:
set statement_timeout=0; VACUUM ANALYZE VERBOSE;
Should work, right?
Now we get the following entries in our log files:
2006-11-30 00:03:31 CST ERROR: canceling statement due to statement timeout
2006-11-30 00:03:31 CST STATEMENT: set statement_timeout=0; VACUUM
ANALYZE VERBOSE;
I imagine that I have a silly little mistake going on but I just can't
see it. Any ideas?
Thanks ...
