hi, we have a 34 million row table. after many inserts, updates, deletes the performance degraded so we vacuumed the table. the output indicated that the index was also vacuumed but the size didn't change. it was still 80m so we dropped and recreated it reducing it to 20m. no big deal but is it common for a vacuum to "miss" the index, so to speak? i saw that someone else asked a similar question on 6/4 in the general archives but i found no reply to it. is this a common occurrence or am i doing something wrong or maybe should be doing something different? this is a 7 column index on an 11 column table. xxxxxxx1 | varchar(15) | xxxxxxx2 | bigint | xxxxxxx3 | varchar(15) | xxxxxxx4 | varchar(15) | xxxxxxx5 | bigint | xxxxxxx6 | float8 | xxxxxxx7 | float8 | xxxxxxx8 | float8 | xxxxxxx9 | date | xxxxxxx10 | integer | xxxxxxx11 | bigint | the index is on columns 1-5,10,11 thanks, mikeo
