(Several hours) Is there anything that can I do to speed it up? The databse is primary a table with 300.000 records of about 200Kbytes each. ~ 60 GB. This is becoming an issue with the daily backup too.. (running pg_dump over night ) Jesper -- ./Jesper Krogh, jesper@krogh.cc Jabber ID: jesper@jabbernet.dk
