Subject: auto_vacuum question
Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 10:31:02 -0400
Message-ID: <004a01c8883b$86b9f140$14010a0a@dei26g028575> (raw)
We upgraded from postgres 7.4.5 to 8.2.5 a couple weekends ago. I just
turned auto vacuum on today.
I manually inserted 4 entries in PG_AUTOVACUUM with enabled = 'f' to exclude
these larger tables
That we manually vacuum every night. But the first tables that autovacuum
chooses to vacuum are
These 4 tables. Am I missing something?
Another, possibly related question: the 4 tables mentioned above are
vacuumed via a scheduled
Daemon that invokes the VACUUMDB shell. But the LAST_VACUUM column in
PG_STAT_USER_TABLES
Is not updated to reflect this vacuum. Other tables vacuumed manually
during the day do have this
LAST_VACUUM column updated. The autovacuum does populate the
LAST_AUTOVACUUM column
For these tables.
Any insights? Thanks
