More specifically, I bet there's a huge number of completely empty pages, which would be read by a seqscan but not an indexscan. VACUUM FULL should fix it nicely, but it's odd that autovacuum isn't keeping a lid on the file size. Maybe with so few live rows, it's confused into thinking it doesn't need to vacuum the table often? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
