The datdba is not necessarily a superuser, and therefore is absolutely not the right answer for any question related to autovacuum. But in any case, I would expect that an integrated-into-the-backend autovac implementation would be operating at a level below any permission checks --- so this question shouldn't be relevant anyway. 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])
