You did not say which PG version you are using (tut tut) but my first thought is that it's a pre-7.4 release and your problems trace to bloat in the system-catalog indexes. The indexes on pg_class and pg_attribute would be quite likely to suffer serious bloat if you continually create and drop tables, because the range of useful table OIDs will be continually shifting. We didn't fix this until 7.4. If you are seeing this in 7.4.* then more investigation is needed... 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])
