One worker per "hot table" seems like overkill to me; you could chew up a lot of connections that way, which could be a DOS. That you have a "foot gun" is guaranteed; I think I'd rather that it come in the form that choosing the "hot list" badly hurts the rate of vacuuming than that we have a potential to chew up numbers of connections (which is a relatively non-renewable resource). -- (format nil "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "cbbrowne" "cbbrowne.com") http://linuxdatabases.info/info/ There are no "civil aviation for dummies" books out there and most of you would probably be scared and spend a lot of your time looking up if there was one. :-) -- Jordan Hubbard in c.u.b.f.m ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
