VACUUM FULL is making your problem worse, not better. Don't do that. > We are currently using 8.1.3 version. You need immediately to upgrade to the latest 8.1 stability and security release, which is 8.1.11. This is a drop-in replacement. It's an urgent fix for your case. > Auto vacuum is already on.

You probably need to tune autovacuum not to do that table, and just vacuum that table in a constant loop or something. VACUUM should _never_ "take the site down". If it does, you're doing it wrong. > Have already tried all the option listed by you, thats y we reached to the > decision of having a replication sytsem. So any suggestion on that :). I think you will find that no replication system will solve your underlying problems. That said, I happen to work for a company that will sell you a replication system to work with 8.1 if you really want it.
