Aside from the other responses: gradual degradation over a period of time sounds like a bloat problem to me. You should monitor table and index sizes to confirm or deny that and find out just what's bloating. Switching to autovacuum, or a better-designed manual vacuum schedule, might be the ultimate answer, but first you need some concrete data about what's going wrong. Otherwise you're just shooting in the dark. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
