I just went live yesterday and I can see many idle processes on my
redhat AS4 running postgres 8.0.2
Is this something I should be worried about?
Being a newb to Linux and somewhat to postgres I need to add the vacuum
and backup scenario.
Josh from Commandpromt gave me some syntax, so I am wondering about how
often I should vacuum ?
An example of cron setting would be perfect.
I may run the backup from a different server.
Also I am experiencing an issue with French text not appearing correctly
on the web site.
We did not have this issue in testing and even now when we hook up to a
test server locally (running windows) the French text appears ok in a
test of our app running on a desk top.
In production I have windows 2000 for my IIS server and the Linux box
for Data. Any ideas how to fix up my French the database itself is
SQL_ASCHII.

Joel, the 'idle' processes are probably a result of your web server 'caching'
them for reuse. This should not present a problem. Although, we use linux
apache for our web server, we have it configured to 'cache' connections for
quick reuse. As long as your max connections setting in postgres is high
enough, you won't experience any trouble.
As far as your french, I'm guessing that either the data has been stored in the
DB as unicode and is being rendered as iso-8859 or vice-versa. The test server
is probably sending a different http header than the live server which would
account for the difference in what the browser is representing. If you are
seeing odd character doubling where there should be an accented character, then
the data is stored as utf-8, but the http header says it is something other
than utf-8. If you are seeing a '?' where there should be an accented
character, then it is probably stored as plain ascii but the http header says
it is supposed to be utf-8.
