There's no such thing as a system-wide VACUUM. The most you can get is a database-wide VACUUM, which means you'd have to store the state per-database somewhere (presumably the pg_database catalog), and perhaps pg_control could have it as a system-wide value that's computed as the minimum of all database states (so it stays "enabling" until all databases have upgraded to "on"). -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
