> It doesn't have to make its way into the postgresql daemon itself -- in fact since some people like tuning the vacuuming, it makes more sense to make this a daemon. No, my suggestion is simple that some sort of auto-vacuumer be compiled as a stand-alone app and included in the standard postgresql tar.gz file, and the install instructions recommend the site adding it as a cron job.
unless I missed something.... the point of a daemon is so that we don't need to use cron. I also think that some type of daemon should be included in the pg sources, and installed with the rest of the system, and if configured to do so, the postmaster launches the auto vac daemon. I think this still makes sense even with the proposed setup (autovac client is just special client app). ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
