Yes, that's the key point for me too. Anyone who doesn't set up for routine vacuums/analyzes is going to have performance problems anyway. Attacking that by making pg_dump force a vacuum is attacking the wrong place. There's been discussion of adding automatic background vacuums to Postgres; that seems like a more useful response to the issue. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
