I guess you could research the reason; it was a thread which ended with an autovacuum patch from me. You could look the CVS logs for the pgstat.c file. -- Alvaro Herrerahttp://www.advogato.org/person/alvherre Someone said that it is at least an order of magnitude more work to do production software than a prototype. I think he is wrong by at least an order of magnitude. (Brian Kernighan) ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq

The fact that it's not WAL-backed and hence couldn't be trusted.

[HACKERS] collector/autovacuum after crash (8.1beta3)
Hi All, At system crash or poweroff the autovacuum statistics will be lost, because this statistics only stored in RAM and saved/restored at service shutdown/startup. I think it should be saved periodically and not to be deleted after crash. -Sygma ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
