So this is what i did but my problem is still not going away. i shutdown the database and started it in single user mode and issued command vacuum full
The command completed but the issue still exists The thing i noticed is that whenever i start the database autovaccum automatically starts on one table all the time like this autovacuum: VACUUM public.hotel_site_market (to prevent wraparound) This same auto vacuum is running since the problem started. i tried to cancel it using pg_cancel_backend but it starts again. i did a vacuum full public.hotel_site_market and the statement completes but again it starts running. i checked the stats using this caesius=# select relname, age(relfrozenxid) from pg_class where relkind = 'r' order by 2 desc; WARNING: database "caesius" must be vacuumed within 1648680 transactions HINT: To avoid a database shutdown, execute a full-database VACUUM in "caesius". relname | age ----------------------------------------------------+------------ hotel_site_market | 2145834967 cc_table_data | 198017413 Even after running the full vacuum the stats are not changing and this autovacuum: VACUUM public.hotel_site_market (to prevent wraparound) keeps coming back i m getting this message as well WARNING: database prod01 must be vacuumed within 1648687 transactions Pls let me know what i should do on this Thanks avi On Mon, Jul 7, 2014 at 4:14 PM, Tom Lane <t...@sss.pgh.pa.us> wrote: > John R Pierce <pie...@hogranch.com> writes: > > On 7/7/2014 2:14 PM, Prabhjot Sheena wrote: > >> i will run full vacuum than and see how it goes. > > > do make sure there aren't any OLD pending transactions hanging around. > > Not only regular transactions, but prepared transactions: > > select * from pg_prepared_xacts; > > 8.3 was the last release in which max_prepared_transactions was nonzero > by default, thereby allowing people to shoot themselves in the foot > this way without having taken off the safety first :-( > > regards, tom lane > > > -- > Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) > To make changes to your subscription: > http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general >
