Sounds like a deadlock waiting to happen :-( AFAIK the general practice is to just accept the fact that vacuum can't remove recently-dead tuples. You should look into whether you can't shorten your transactions --- very-long-running transactions create other performance issues besides vacuum not removing stuff. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
