Raise it, a lot. Perhaps to 30,000 or 50,000. VACUUM VERBOSE ANALYZE should show you how many data pages are being reclaimed between vacuums. Because of your very high rate of updates and deletes, you need to hold a lot of data pages open. You would also benefit a great deal by upgrading to 7.4. 7.3 will require you to to REINDEXes several times a day with your current setup; 7.4 will not. -- -Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
