Basically, data gets added to that table as it becomes ready from other systems, and after each batch a vacuum analyze is run. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: 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
