Postgresql 7.4.5
The following VACUUMs were run within a couple of minutes of each other completing.
This table concerned is a table that has not been changed in a long time. (a month)
There were open transactions at the time the vacuum was run. These were created by having PHP running with
postgresql. At least that is what I have managed to find so far. and disabling PHP in apache removes them.
postgres 7588 0.0 0.4 50324 3168 ? S Sep28 0:00 postgres: postgres sqlfilter 10.0.0.5 idle in transaction
postgres 7589 0.0 0.4 50324 3172 ? S Sep28 0:00 postgres: postgres sqlfilter 10.0.0.5 idle in transaction
Should VACUUM report the rows as deleted or say they could not be deleted?
Why does it report the same information for three runs in a row?
Or is something else going on that I don't understand.
Regards
Russell Smith

I see no pending deletions in that vacuum output:

so I'm not sure why you would expect the output to change.

I expect that index info not to be the same each vacuum run. Why are 21455index pages deleted
on runs 1, 2 and 3.
so I'm not sure why you would expect the output to change.

Hello,
Is it normal for plain VACUUM on large table to degrade performance by over
9 times? My database becomes unusable when VACUUM runs. From reading
newsgroups, I thought VACUUM should only slow down by 10% to 15%. Other MVCC
databases like MySQL InnoDB can even VACUUM discretely (runs internally). Is
it my Linux system or is it PostgreSQL?
The database is mostly read-only. There are 133,000 rows and each row is
about 2.5kB in size...

To all,
The facts:
PostgreSQL 7.4.0 running on BSD 5.1 on Dell 2650 with 4GB RAM, 5 SCSI
drives in hardware RAID 0 configuration. Database size with indexes is
currently 122GB. DB size before we completed the vacuum full was 150GB.
We have recently done a major update to a table, f_pageviews, in our
data warehouse. The f_pageviews table contains about 118 million rows.

....am I correct in reading this to say that it took more than 53 minutes
(3227 secs) to get 17 seconds of CPU time? Is this an indicator of
possible I/O contention? What else would account for this if my CPUs are
clearly not very busy?

query is

There are 55k rows in t1 (103 fields) and 10k in t2 (4 fields, 4 is text).
before vacuum analyze the query gave 10k rows like it was doing an inner

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
