Hey folks,
I'm running 8.0.4 on OpenBSD, and I'm running into issues where
a large batch job will fire up and occasionally coincide with a
VACUUM. Which then makes this batch take an hour and a half,
rather than the 30 minutes it usually takes. :(
I am going to upgrade to 8.1.2 this weekend, before you ask. :)
Here's the question - is there a query I can make in my scripts
(using perl/DBD::Pg) to see if the database is being VACUUMed at
the current time? I could add a sleep, so the script would
patiently wait for the VACUUM to finish before kicking off several
intense queries.
Thanks much!
Benny
