The problem is that you've got some old open transactions that could potentially see those recently-dead rows, so VACUUM can't remove the rows without breaking MVCC rules for those transactions. Find the clients that are holding open transactions, and zap 'em. > previously we were running this application with postgresql-7.4, and > there the vacuuming worked fine. now we migrated this to > postgresql-8.2.4, and it does not want to vacuum it properly. I wonder whether you updated the client-side support libraries? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
