I have checked the connections with the command you suggested, they are all in status "idle". Update on the problem described in my initial posting: I have deleted some 4000 records from the table on the live system in the meantime, it took about 36 minutes to complete. After that, i ran a Vacuum full verbose on the table. The vacuum full removed only 25 deleted records within about 5 seconds. Regards, R.
