Right, the server log should tend to being empty if there is nothing unusual happening. I recall that someone once complained about every checkpoint run making an entry; and every autovacuum run making one would be about the same. Certainly, there is room for more fine-tuning here, but the all-important question "Has autovacuum ever run (recently)" can now be easily answered in 8.2, so we're good. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
