No. We just got the tuple header down to 24 bytes, we are not going to give that back and then some. If you are processing 6K transactions per second, you can afford to vacuum every couple days... and probably need to vacuum much more often than that anyway, to avoid table bloat. Possibly your respondent should think about trying to do more than one thing per transaction? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
