How would it do that? These structs are local to particular backends, so there's no way for a DROP TABLE occurring in one backend to reach over and reset the timeout in the bgwriter process. If we add communication that lets the bgwriter know the table is being dropped, then the problem is solved directly. 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
