-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and postgresql-8.1.9-1.el5 (&c.).
It seems autovacuum would be a good idea, but I cannot see how to start it, mainly because I cannot find it. There are autovacuum settings in postgresql.conf, but they are all commented out. Does it suffice to turn them on and restart the postmaster? Or are they off because autovacuum is not supported? I have looked around in the PostgreSQL book by Douglas & Douglas and they say it is in a contrib directory, but the one that makes sense does not seem to contain it. Is it built into the server now, or is it to be found somewhere else? In particular, pgavd does not exist anywhere on my system. - -- .~.
