I really couldn't say. I don't know what the WebObjects app is doing. I know, or *believe* I know, it's only doing queries. (It may be doing temp tables internally, or some-such.) Its interface to pgsql is via the JDBC that comes with pgsql. I don't know what the Java code it generated looks like. > ISTM it would only matter when you try > to vacuum a shared table, which this is not ... That's what I would've thought.
