Okay. On 8.2 you could have the problem that leftover temp tables are messing up the frozenxid calculations, but I don't think that can happen on 8.1 at all. Can you verify whether age(pg_database.datfrozenxid) is shrinking after vacuuming? If the age() of a database is higher than the applicable max_freeze_age, then it will always be chosen. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
