If you're doing that you need to re-evaluate your vacuuming strategy and possibly your free space map settings. You should normally never need to use pg_dump(all) or vacuum full to reclaim space. If you've got the ability to take enough downtime to dump and restore, you should really use that opportunity to upgrade to a modern version, too. -- Decibel!, aka Jim Nasby [EMAIL PROTECTED] EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com 512.569.9461 (cell)
