I don't think so since it sounds like he's saying to still sync the log and VACUUM FULL has an exclusive lock on the table. So any committed (or aborted) changes it sees in the table must have been committed or aborted before the log sync. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
