Hi, I have a web application using PostgreSQL 7.1.3 with a table that experiences alot of UPDATEs. I shouldn't be updating the data so much to start off with but can no longer avoid the situation.
I would like to vacuum a table (1 table only) to maintain an acceptable performance. Is it safe to vacuum a table when users are attempting to SELECT from or UPDATE to it? I would imagine that the table would get locked and there should be no problems. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
