Alvaro, I changed autovacuum parametrs for this specific table in pg_autovacuum
insert into pg_autovacuum (vacrelid,enabled,vac_base_thresh, vac_scale_factor, anl_base_thresh, anl_scale_factor, vac_cost_delay, vac_cost_limit, freeze_min_age, freeze_max_age) values ( (select oid from pg_class where relname='t_ais_position'), True, 100, 0.01 , 100, 0.02, -1, -1, -1, -1 ) Should I somehow let autovacuum deamon know about new table configuration or above insert is enough ?

Did you reload (pg_ctl reload) after changing the postgresql.conf settings? Also note that you can alter values for a specific table by putting them in the pg_autovacuum table. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/5ZYLFMCVHXC "I am amazed at [the pgsql-sql] mailing list for the wonderful support, and lack of hesitasion in answering a lost soul's question, I just wished the rest of the mailing list could be like this."
