The problem has been "corrected enough" for there to be no need to reindex, AFAIK. I think what Tom is concerned about is that this hasn't been tested enough with big datasets. Also there a little loss of index pages but it's much less (orders of magnitude, I think) than what was before. This is because the index won't shrink "vertically". -- Alvaro Herrera (<alvherre[a]dcc.uchile.cl>) "I dream about dreams about dreams", sang the nightingale under the pale moon (Sandman) ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
