I found it very necessary when using Postgres 7.3.4. It needs a full vacuum every week for me. > Will it hurt anything? Only performance on the server while it is running. > Has anyone setup a cronjob to handle this pre/post backup? Yes, I have an Admin job with a RunAfterJob specially for this. > Time - If anyone is currently doing this whats the average time it takes > for you database? And how large is your database? The problem is likely to be the File table and its indexes. On a 2.8HGz P4 with ~ 7 million rows in the File table, vacuum takes 30 mins and vacuum full takes 90 mins for me. I've not attempted to optimize this. __Martin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
