vacuum analyze on the table repcopy In addition to that, indexes on report_time, report_status, and dm_user might help. And your query is not "hung", it's just taking a LONG time. Based on the explain, it could take several hours to complete. How many rows are in repcopy? What is your vacuum schedule? Do a vacuum verbose, if the number of dead rows is very high on that table, you may benefit from doing a VACUUM FULL + REINDEX or CLUSTER on the table. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com http://people.collaborativefusion.com/~wmoran/ -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin

Is there any way to know at a certain moment with precision how much shared > memory expressed in Mb is used? The precision is +/- 1 buffer.
