Is it likely that someone else was doing the same thing in another session? This failure is known to occur if two backends concurrently ANALYZE the same table --- the second one to try to update the pg_statistics row fails because of the concurrent write. It's quite harmless, except for preventing the rest of the VACUUM command from completing. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
