L.S. I don't expect that this is the intended behaviour:
db=# SELECT version(); version --------------------------------------------------------------------- PostgreSQL 7.4.3 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC egcs-2.91.66 If you run these commands: CREATE TABLE "level" ("id" int primary key, "abbreviation" text); INSERT INTO "level" VALUES (1, 'ONE'); INSERT INTO "level" VALUES (2, 'TWO'); INSERT INTO "level" VALUES (3, 'THREE'); CREATE TABLE "base" ("id" int primary key, "sub_id" int, "level_id" int references level(id), "image" oid); CREATE FUNCTION get_level(varchar) RETURNS int LANGUAGE 'sql' IMMUTABLE STRICT SECURITY INVOKER AS 'SELECT id FROM level WHERE abbreviation = $1'; CREATE INDEX base_idx ON base(sub_id, id) WHERE level_id = get_level('THREE'); Then vacuumlo will output: # /usr/local/pgsql/bin/vacuumlo -v -n -U postgres db Connected to db Test run: no large objects will be removed! Checking image in public.base Failed to check image in table public.base: ERROR: relation "level" does not exist CONTEXT: SQL function "get_level" during startup Omitting the index creation makes vacuumlo finish succesfully. -- Best, Frank. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
