Tom, I am not sure exactly what you mean by 'open client transactions' but I just killed off all client processes. The only postgres processes running are:
[root@cvs root]# ps -ef | grep post postgres 1004 1 0 Jul03 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster postgres 1069 1004 0 Jul03 ? 00:00:00 postgres: stats buffer process postgres 1070 1069 0 Jul03 ? 00:00:00 postgres: stats collector proces I then reconnected via psql and reran the vacuum full getting the same error. --Barry Tom Lane wrote: >Barry Lind <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > >>It was not compiled with debug.
