You're running 7.1.2? My, that *is* an old installation. You really ought to think about an update, particularly if you might be approaching the 4-billion-transaction event horizon. You do not want to suffer XID wraparound in a 7.1 installation :-(. See this link for explanations: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/maintenance.html#VACUUM-FOR-WRAPAROUND 7.1 does have the CHECKPOINT command, though, whether you see it documented or not. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
