Thanks. I find it strange that it takes 3 minutes to restore a 150 MB database ... do you have many indexes? Even though the restore times are very similar, I find it a bit disturbing that the "CREATE INDEX" is shown to be waiting. Was it just bad luck that the ps output shows it that way, or does it really wait for long? -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
