Right. pg_upgrade doesn't actually call vacuumdb. It creates a script that you may use. The script itself contains a comment that says, if you want to do this as fast as possible, don't use this script. That comment could be enhanced to suggest the use of the -j option. -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
