The error message is "WARNING: skipping "thetable" --- only table or database owner can vacuum it" Are you *certain* the active role is really a superuser?

I wonder whether you are supposing that the superuser property can be inherited by some other role via role membership grant. It doesn't work that way. You must actually be cover_super here to be superuser. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
