I am planning to use 8.2 and the average inserts/deletes and updates across all tables is moderate. That is, it is a moderate sized database with moderate usage of tables. Given that, how often do I need to reindex the tables? Do I need to do it everyday? Also with 8.2, I do not have to do vacuum anymore or that is what I understand. Does it do auto-vacuum? Thanks in advance Dhaval Shah
