Hello all While debugging my autovacuum I increased the level of logging to "debug3" and got this: # cat /var/pgsql/data/logfile | grep vac | egrep "mydb|mytable" LOG: autovacuum: processing database "mydb" DEBUG: mytbl: vac: 10409 (threshold 200000), anl: -183366 (threshold 50000) LOG: autovacuum: processing database "mydb" DEBUG: mytbl: vac: 10966 (threshold 200000), anl: -182489 (threshold 50000) LOG: autovacuum: processing database "mydb" DEBUG: mytbl: vac: 11545 (threshold 200000), anl: -181592 (threshold 50000) Should I be worried with the negative values in 'anl' ? thx joao
