I just did: -bash-3.00$ pwd; date; ll and it told me: /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_clog Wed Aug 27 09:09:04 PDT 2008 total 32 -rw------- 1 postgres postgres 32768 Aug 27 02:33 0000 Yesterday the byte count was 24576. Voila! 24576 + 8192 -> 32768 Regards, Tena Sakai [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Alvaro Herrera [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue 8/26/2008 7:29 AM To: Tena Sakai Cc: Marcelo Martins; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [ADMIN] restoring from dump Tena Sakai wrote: > Hi Alvaro, > > I just looked in pg_clog directory and there is > only one file: > -rw------- 1 postgres postgres 24576 Aug 25 20:18 0000 > I saw the same file about 10:30 am and I believe > it was roughly the same size.

Note that these files use only 2 bits per transaction, so in 24756 bytes you have enough room to cover 99024 transactions. Furthermore, they always grow in 8192-byte increments. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.
