I'm running PG 7.2.2 on RH Linux 8.0. I'd like to know why "VACUUM ANALYZE <table>" is extemely slow (hours) for certain tables. Here's what the log file shows when I run this command on my "employees" table, which has just 5 columns and 55 records:
VACUUM ANALYZE employees DEBUG: --Relation employees-- DEBUG: index employees_pkey: Pages 2; Tuples 55: Deleted 0. CPU 0.00s/0.00u sec elapsed 0.00 sec. DEBUG: index emp_dept_id_idx: Pages 2; Tuples 55: Deleted 0. CPU 0.00s/0.00u sec elapsed 0.00 sec. DEBUG: index emp_emp_num_idx: Pages 2; Tuples 55: Deleted 0. CPU 0.00s/0.00u sec elapsed 0.00 sec. DEBUG: recycled transaction log file 00000000000000CC DEBUG: geqo_main: using edge recombination crossover [ERX] (When I get a chance I will enable timestamping of log file entries.) Thanks for any insight. Please reply to me personally ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) as well as to the list. -David ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
