You have to vacuum template1 periodically if you want pg_clog to shrink. You may know that you've never changed it, but the VACUUM code doesn't know that. template0 need not get vacuumed as long as it's marked datallowconn = false in pg_database. VACUUM assumes it's not been changed if that flag is present. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(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
